Walking Honomu

Gee, it's a small small world.  On this humid afternoon decided to walk Honomu.  The first house I passed someone called out, "Jo, Jo, is that you?  It's me, Jennifer,"  and so it went.  Walked and talked, and folks were so glad to meet the candidate.  The next stop (whenever you see more than two people together you stop) was Kalena setting up for a graduation party tomorrow!!  The folks in Honomu were so willing to share their concerns for the county. Agriculture is on everyone's mind, as is renewable energy, and also, austerity.  If people don't have money they won't travel to Hawaii.  What will our island economy do then?  Almost everyone had a thumbs up for geothermal, and sustainable agriculture.  Agricultural concerns ranged from organic food to rat lungworm disease.  Hunters and fishers are concerned about access - that is a huge issue for us.
