Yeah my friend's dad lives in Honoka'a. It's far away from everything and quite poor, which is hard to really explain to anyone who hasn't ever left the more resort-y parts of Hawaii.

I'm going to guess some kind of permitting hell, especially the slow SEPA process here. The project I worked on doing wetland delineations outside Ellensburg in 2010-ish moved really slow, and now with the "current economic conditions" AKA Trump policy they've decided not to build it.

I’ve been twice while there was lava. Most exciting. Was the night before for 40th birthday in 2021. It was fountaining then but not EXPLODING.

I need to get one. Had to recently slow-roll down to Les Schwab to get TWO NAILS out of two different tires. I ALSO love my car battery jumper. Random guy in parking lot asking for a jump, sure!

True. Maybe that only happens when it's sunny while you're at work/school/whatever during the week.

I just remind myself it could be worse, it could be New England. Four years of college in Western Massachusetts winter was enough for me.

The difference is days with perceptible precipitation versus amount of rain. The number of days hasn’t changed much but the quality of the rain has. It’s much more intense and flashy now, versus the mist, which I actually liked.
