This was my first post as a contributor to Hunter on his opening blog
Congratulations Mr Hunter,
It’s really kind of exciting to see the wave of the future in journalism, expanding directly to our computers without all of the fuss of going out to get “a dead tree rag” I’m kind of wondering thou, will we be covering our birdcage bottoms with old computers someday? What the heck the way that technicality is advancing in twenty years we will probably think that computers are old fashion.
It is great that you have set up this web site and I for one will be exploring it on a daily basic to see what is happing around the Puna area. I have lived in Hawaii since 1970, most of that time on the Kona coast. The Puna side has been the best kept secret in the world, for over thirty years I have been avoiding the east side like the plague. Folks over on this side keep saying that it rains all of the time and you have to be very fond of mold and mildew to live here. Now the cat’s out of the bag and people are finding out just how beautiful this side is. Puna is the fastest growing community in the entire Hawaiian chain of islands.
In 1970 on the Kona side there was only one stop sign, it was on the corner of Palani & Kuakainie highway. The next traffic control device was another stop sign in Waikaloa, those were the days. We all know what it is like today on the west side with all of the traffic and congestion you can hardly breath there. The point that I’m trying to make is that we try so hard to make things better and it seems that all we do is ruin what we already have. I can see Puna being spoiled at a rapid pace with all of it’s growth. Whoever coined the phrase “stop and smell the rose’s” knew exactly what they were talking about. Well, good luck to you and your electronic rag and you have my vote.

Good for you Hunter,
Since I was one of the first responders to your blog it is only fitting that I be one of the last. It’s been a real kick in the butt and you will surly be missed, but as they say upward and onward. You have my best wishes and as they say “take no prisoners” best of luck.
