Rain, Mauna Kea, Skiing, and Altitude Sickness
#25
When we left AK I couldn't bear to throw out all my wool shirts, plus fleece pants, vests and jackets.
I have found them useful for an hour or two, one or two days a year since moving here.

I'm really glad I kept them for this week.
There has been a day or two where I did wear them the full day.

And, she had said: " You're keeping too many un-needed things. Get rid of them. You'll never wear'em in Hawai'i".
Hah!

EDIT
Another thing I was given a bad time about bringing was my ski gear.
When we vacationed here, before making the move, Mauna Kea had enough snow drifted into the lee areas that could be skied nicely.
Since moving here, I've never seen enough snow to tempt me up to try.
I'm thinking that this week may change that.

One major problem, though.
Every time I've gone to the top, I end up oxygen starved.
I really don't think I could expend the energy to ski up there unless I went up and lived there for an extended period, or carried an O2 bottle.
How do people that live near sea level and are no longer adolescent deal with it?

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
