JFSD - Yeah lots of Californians here. Lots from all over most of the west coast and further. I work with a girl from Oregon, and a woman from Ohio too. As far as melding into the culture I think you’d find people who do one or the other. But for the most part I’d say they try to meld, and I think this is true for all of Hawaii. Most of the time, hopefully, it was the culture and people that made them come here and want to stay. I think probably it’s more the wealthier folks who tend to keep to themselves, who just came here for the location. They’re usually the ones who complain about how things are and try to change it more to their liking However you’d probably find that anywhere in the world.

Also I’m glad you’re getting a taste of Kona in your cup every morning. I’m not a big coffee drinker, but just being here I can appreciate the product they’re putting out. You’re right to go with the mom and pop too. Any of the bigger producers who sell Kona blends are just ripping people off with only 10% actual Kona.

Thanks Doctory Trey - another funny show, and Miss Jenn munching made me remember eating those things with hot sauce back too many years ago to count. Loved the call-in from Rox too - what a sweetie and always so positive (she’s got Hawai’i DNA in there somewhere, eh?)…

Hekili - I order coffee (100% Kona) from the big island from a Mom & Pop farm. No bug spray or chem fertilizer - it’s wonderful. I was in Kailua-Kona and Hilo on a trip in 2004. Love, love, love Hawai’i. Are you seeing a lot of transplanted Californian’s out Big Island way? If so, do you think they try to meld into the culture, or tend to stay more to themselves? (just curious)

Kimo - do you have a favorite store for CD’s or just where ever you happen to be? I use one online in Kaua’i I really like. If I order 6 (I think, it’s been a while) CD’s there’s no shipping fee.

haha, it didn’t take that long. I actually remember it being used or said like that before. Which is probably why I never picked up on it being a pidgin thing. But yes, as you know I do have a lot of time on my hands. This is a big island with not much to do.

I can’t wait for the new IZ album. Also, I googled Chimney. It’s derived from the Anglo-French “Chiminee”. http://www.chiminee.com
