Relocating to Puna

[pslamont]

Well, I have been partying, seeing old friends, sleeping, scuba diving, eating Mexican food..... ahhhhhhh. Today is my birthday so more sleeping, eating, partying.... what a life! All this left for the lovely Hawaiian paradise of rain forest, mud, tractors, rain, mud, work, mud... what was I thinking? The same thing I am thinking now. After two weeks of California traffic and drivers, crowds and endless shopping malls, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME TO THE RAIN AND MUD!!

It is amazing how quickly I found myself driving at 85 on the freeway, zipping from San Diego to Los Angeles, taking care of business..... but I sure don't like it. People are cold... at least the strangers are. No Aloha, no sense of community. I am reminded of rats in an overcrowded cage fighting for territory. The ease of country living is certainly missing. It's a good dose of reality after 9 months on the island. I am totally ready to get back to gardening, tractoring, building and the rest, though I must admit seeing some of my old friends has been a fulfilling joy.

I look forward to those of you who have contacted me in the last few weeks as I am home late Wednesday night.... so get back in touch and COME ON DOWN!!!
