Green hedgies underwater, I didn't know it was those guys. Couldn't happen to a more foolish bunch! Trying to make good with their money. There is irony in all that. Lets shut down all of our internal combustion engines in sympathy for their situation and perhaps the proletariat in China and India will follow our leadership. Not. They used to live that way for the prior hundred years. Now they want a better life, and if it means flooding places like Bangladesh or NOLA or the US East coast, well so be it. I choose the Big Island because that is where I put most of my money rescued from the Socialists of SF, in the form of a condo a coupla years back just before the last leg up of the big real estate boom that has sweep this nation. At the time this island reminded me of early CA with limited roads and not much tourists or people present. It was really remote and big and beautiful. Too bad a lot of building is now underway here, looks like it has become the place for a lot of future development. At least the development is along the lines of a Maui not an Oahu, more suburban less big city. Its a huge island, larger than all the rest combined. So the feeling is one of continual new things to discover and places to go. Not nearly so confining as the smaller islands. It reminds me of the relationship of the Greater Antilles to the rest of the Caribbean. Some day I hope to bring my beloved Escapade here. We just landed here yesterday, so my internal clock is still well East of here. That doesn't happen when traveling by boat.
