And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

I have a riding buddy who is a professor of geology at a nearby college. Finals ended this past week and he left Wednesday for Hawaii. He has his MS and has just started a doctoral program. He hopes it peaks sometime this summer so he can use the data he collects for his doctoral thesis.
Been there many times - almost bought a really nice house in Hilo about 10 years ago as a retirement home, but then thought better of it. The biggest concern wasn't Pele, it was the LONG flight from the East Coast that would discourage frequent visits. Of course, in retirement we could go for months at a time.
