K00L!  My dad was a 40 year member of the local trolley museum.

That kind can be taken care of with the application of a SAW.  Of course,
it's a little tough on the surroundings....

My cousin did his 20 in the Air Force.  He's been working for the VA ever
since.

Close enough.

Oh dear.  Well, you'll find country southern holes in the wall instead. 
Around here it's Jamaican.

Yep - and there are a few around, but none in places I have any other
reason to go.

Nope - even if you'd moved at birth you'd still be considered a Northerner
in some places.

->  RH> That good, eh?  If you can't say anything nice....
-> 
-> I know, I know----and, since I'm not in HI, I'll keep my mouth shut.

Poi - Hawaii's answer to turnips!
