75-Plus HPP Years

[HiloJulie]

Aloha back at ya Patricia!

I can honestly say that no, we have never met. Further, in as much as HPP intrigues me in several aspects, I admit that I know nothing about it. (Outside of it being seemingly constantly in the news) I know maybe 4 or 5 people who live there, and after living here in Hilo (Hawaiian Acres) since the late 1980's, I have only driven into HPP maybe 3 or 4 times. 

At any event, welcome to PunaWeb and in as much as I have no specific question(s) to ask about HPP, I'll definitely read anything you desire to share here.

And it is a pleasure to meet you as well.

That's OK as long as..

As usual, you sound like you think you own PW. Really, what business is any of this of your's?

It's my business because I post here and have done so for many years. You've also done so but used several different usernames for reasons only you can explain but others can speculate.

I posted an opinion. What's wrong with that? It's certainly related to Puna; I don't see how that could be questioned. The fact remains that something weird is going on, which is only emphasized by Rob dropping in and suggesting people drop it. Drop what? What is it that Rob wants to drop? HPP or the integrity of this site? Or something else?

Aloha again, and thank you for the lovely reply. When my family and I lived in Ainaloa, we did not venture much into HPP either (maybe we should have But now, here we are. 

I will be happy to share HPP/HPPOA information and discuss. Hopefully, it will not cause unnecessary angst for some who would rather not know it. 

Mahalo nui!

From #4 in this thread, Outspeaks by Albert Saijo just listed on eBay.  Saijo was a Volcano Village poet, most of this book is from his writing while he lived there.  Price reflects the book’s rarity, occasionally you can find for less if you’re patient.

The cover and some pages are copies of his original manuscripts.  Pencil, colored pencil, I’ve seen original pages, they’re wild!  A burst of spectral exposition from back roads into the tree ferns and ohia forest.  Sunlight bursting through the clouds.
