If my wife wasn't so averse to cold weather and snow(born in Hawaii), go figure),, I'd think of moving back there myself. I left over 20 years ago.My "X" (who spent 15 years there) almost had me convinced to relocate to Hawaii. It IS a wonderful place, and is my favorite for visiting!
My fixation for checking out of state plates however would lead me to frustration if I were to make such a move. (rock fever)
I'm glad to hear the adults are running the state and not the libs. What's this I hear about CCW gaining ground there?
Gaining? Said and done. I assume you know, for I spend (almost) as much time at FR when I have the available time as you do and frankly I have deduced that you have a firm grasp on the political issues referencing CCW here in MN.
The Big Island is pretty good sized. I like the Kona side myself. Have a friend who works at the Keck Observatory. They do have snow in Hawaii, just not on the beaches. :-]
I try to keep up as much as I reasonably can on the goings on in Minnesota. I have a sloughful of family and relatives all over the state.
I hope Dayton gets his arse handed to him on a plate next election. I can't believe there are that many who bought into him. But this is also the state that sent Mondale to the Senate for years too. ;-)
