Hi Hap,

-> Once it get going again........we had some major storms yesterday
-> afternoon. One church several miles from us had its steeple removed and
-> toppled onto the buliding, lots of big trees down, power out, lots of

 hn> And we are enjoying low 70's and cloudy mornings burning
 hn> off to sunny and dry afternoons. Slight breeze keeps it
 hn> nice and comfortable for doing yard work!

Come over here; there's lots to be done. Turned out that storm had an
EF1 tornado in it that did the damage to the chuch and other buildings.
Several houses destroyed, more damaged, same with vehicles but nobody
hurt or killed.

-> -> from the Campbell estate but when it got to be cheaper to import
-> -> pineapple from the Phillipines, they decided to stop growing it.

->  hn> hmmm macadamia nuts come to mind!

-> Possible but there are lots of mac farms on the Big Island. I'm thinking
-> of the fields on Oahu  that went all the way up to the post boundary
-> gates.

 hn> My personal suggestion would to be to grow
 hn> some good hardwood for the musical instrument
 hn> builders...there was a big hue and cry about the
 hn> lack of good wood lately!

That sounds like a good idea--plant more koa wood. That is pretty wood;
I've got a small box and pincushion (base is wood) made of koa.


->  hn> various groups of people eating and enjoying
->  hn> the convention. I brought something from
->  hn> home to nibble on during the day!

-> Good way to keep your batteries charged. (G) It's a good thing you're
-> shooting digital--can you imagine the developing of all that film? Plus
-> the time to change out rolls, etc, you might miss what end up being the
-> best shots.

 hn> The first two conventions I did were on film, and when
 hn> you do it often enough, you get pretty quick at it and
 hn> I was fast enough that I'd never miss more than one
 hn> pitch at a ball game (grin)

I could do that with the old 126 cartridges; 35mm might mean missing a
couple of pitches at this point. My fingers tend to get a bit fumbly if
I try to work on something like that in too great a rush.

->  hn> No, my workspace is too dusty for much
->  hn> computer work..it's in the basement of
->  hn> an old railroad Freighthouse!

-> Too much coal dust still in the air?

 hn> Nope, just the accumulated dust of an old building!

Definately sneeze time for me, as well as irritated eyes, etc.

->  hn> to start work tonight until one hour before
->  hn> game time...I can use the extra rest today!

-> I saw the M's are giving their now ex manager a bit of extra rest. (G)
-> The Mets decided to do likewise.

 hn> And the M's are at this moment playing the Mets in NY and
 hn> our pitcher Felix Hernandez, just hit a grand slam!

Sigh! First time an AL pitcher has done that in 34 years and it had to
be against the Mets.

-> I imagine it felt in some way, like nothing had changed. When will she
-> be all finished with her schooling?

 hn> Who knows? (grin) She's complaining right now that the
 hn> little sea slugs she is studying have not yet shown up
 hn> in the bays ...she's going to have a tough time doing research
 hn> on an animal that just isn't there!

Some other critter eating them for breakfast, lunch and supper? Boring
diet there. (G)
