EBT dollars at work
#78
Hawaii should be able to feed its population on its own.

I'm doing my share.

I have an avocado tree near the road, it's picked clean every year before I can even get one. One year I watched a guy climb up on the cab of his pickup so he didn't miss any. I asked him to leave a few for me, and he accused me of not having the Aloha spirit.

I also have a dozen or so coconut trees in the front yard that are regularly picked clean. Once I noticed a guy harvesting up in the crown and asked if he wouldn't mind trimming some of the dead fronds while he was up there. He said the saw he used only cut coconuts, not fronds.

They're probably all disappointed I don't plant more trees to feed the population here in the islands.

(Both instances took place with people who came into my yard to pick from trees growing on my property, in view of my house. If they had asked I would have said sure, take a few. They never ask.)
