Actually, "Milkman" would be more my speed :)
You bring the Milk, I'll buy the Kona coffee,, a few cups and we'll be flying..
Works for me.
Good report, mostly property damages and little damage to people. It seems it was about the strength of the one we had in '94 and that was a doozy. For sure, Hawaii will be the big story on the morning news tomorrow. Aloha
We'll see how the media spins this against Bush.
Yes indeed. Can you imagine heavy two way traffic around Kahakuloa ? Total chaos & someone would probably go over the edge.
Mind you, Hwy30 is no joy sometimes, we made the mistake of arriving on Halloween about three years ago, took three hours to get from airport to rented Kahana condo as it seemed the whole island was going to Lahaina for the party - and a late night wreck closed it until about 10am the next day !
Granted, my Geology background's a bit rusty, being nearly 2 decades behind me, but is Seismic activity of this nature 'normal' for the Islands? Granted there is tremendous volcanic activity, but in the case of Hawaii, its located over a 'Hot Spot.' The volcanism is not directly associated with plate intersection (friction). And its type of rock structures are generally stable, are they not?!

excerpted piece re: 'injuries'

KITV anchor Shawn Ching said there was "significant" structural damage throughout the Big Island. A spokesperson for a hospital in Waimea said its emergency room was "inundated" with patients who suffered lacerations during the quake.
I wouldn't worry 'bout it: N. Korea can NOT initiate a test that big.
No dick-head we will not negotiate with you: instead we will f#Wk you. Come on, giver your bestest shot...
Sir, we dutifullly notify you that we will stand here for a certain indiscriminate period of time. Then WE WILL PUMMLE YOU!
We will beat you so resoundedly that you will not be able to discern the next two months, 50 years, or the last four thousand years.
No we will not negotiate with you. We will negoiate with a collective party of six world-wide-entities who have an interest in the outcome of negotiations.
It looks like the epicenter was not far from my favorite Big Island town - Ahole.

We are gonna lighten up with Shaggy Dog DVD (2nd time) and then hit the hay.
Take care.
I did have a big chuckle when travelling around Oahu during a trip there several years back, and realized I was travelling on an "Interstate" highway. Just what other state is it going to connect to, I wondered?!!! :-)
You OK?
