I think it is really funny, meaning in a curious sort of way. I bring in one bag of stuff from the grocery store, and somehow I end up with three bags going out for trash pickup. And that is AFTER we have supposedly consumed most of what I brought in from the grocery store. How does that happen?

They say matter is neither created nor destroyed, it just changes form. All I know is that what goes out of the house seems to be larger than what comes into the house. I'm not sure what happens to it during the time it is in the house, but it's kind of scary.

And what about burning the rubbish instead of burying it in a land fill? At least that way you could power a steam turbine for electricity. Yes, you will have to find a way to clean the smoke, but there are ways.

We have one here. It was a hell of a battle but the incinerator people won. In retrospect I think it was a good idea. I don't see any smoke coming from it or smell anything when I'm at the site.

btw- The incinerator site is a major recycling center. They take our old house paint (and everything else) and SELL it to other countries. Not so sure that's good for the other folks, but solves our problem.

What are "brahs" and "cruzzahs"?

Another take off on brother, like bro, usually locals.

Any motor vehicle on its last legs. Can be bought cheap and dumped when it dies. After it's dumped it'll be stripped by da brahs and then torched.

Mike, you have your share of abandonded vehicles on Maui. But you are right, does not take long for them to be picked clean. Glad to see the Islands finally getting a recycling program going. Can't imagine why it took so long.

The government did it. There were so many abandoned cruzzers the governor finally declared a state of emergency so they could be towed and stashed illegally on an old airport. Once a recycler came on line it was almost a year before the backlog was taken care of.

And 100-year low temperatures in the Atlanta area -- near where Spring Fever is going on. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

It snowed in Ashville, NC, last night, and all up through Ohio. It's APRIL for crying out loud! That's why I moved to the southern half of Florida. And when my wife talks of moving back "up north" I tell her I want to move further SOUTH! It still gets into the 40's at night here and that's just too cold for me!

Hey, Happy Easter too! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well the temp here right now is about 75 (24C) but the wind has died, just as I was about to go out on the cat too. I think I'll rent a little plane and go flying instead. It's too nice a day to sit indoors. I hope the Spring Fever sailors have wind.

I think this is a fairly common disagreement with couples, that women tend to like living where there are four distinct seasons, and men like living where it is warm all year round.

We have four distinct seasons on Maui; Christmas/New Years, Spring Break, Summer, and No Tourists.

September, just after school starts, to mid October when the first snowbirds arrive. It's not exactly no tourists but it definitely gets quiet.
