Hello Punatics!

[fishnchamp1]

All this talk of Waipio had me interested to pull out my books on Hawaii, tucked into the back dustjacket ofone book was the pamphlet the P&R lady gave me when we arrived for our descent... Cool little little fact I had forgotten an wanted to share, Bishop museum is the largest land owner in the valley. Most of that land is leased to local farmers. Approximately 150 acres of kalo are farmed here (that is a HUGEMUNGOUS amount a poi!) by about 75 farmers... (2 acres per person... I bet I can do that much work!) If fascites me that people can live in uch accord with nature in such a welcoming environment. I must be so satisfying to their souls to comsume so little that they actually give back and help to suport the earth than to simply mine away at its chemical makeup. The kind of human symbiosis is so rare anymore... I really hate my car.
