Hey, George ... I lived in Broken Arrow for 8 years. Loved it there!

Aloha brother,
I'm always happy to be of service to the brethren. And appreciate your kind words.
I left the mainland U.S.A. in 1958 and lived in Hawaii from that time until December 7, 2008. It's quite an adjustment (weather wise), other than that, we are with family and loved ones who care, and so we'll "hibernate" - until it's safe to go outside. (or until we get hungry!)
I will say this though - Hawaii is known for its "Aloha", and, so far, the folks I have run into here are both more courteous and considerate than even those in Hawaii.
