where is gas .99?  would you believe we are still paying 1.89/gal for
regular here on the big island of hawaii???  and that's the cheapest it gets
here.  sigh.  oh, well, at least we get to go camping this weekend!  80
degrees and sunny on the kohala coast.  I'll have some digital pix available
when we return next year.

aloha,

mick
hilo, hawaii
