I’ve been meaning to most something here for a while, but never got around to it. I guess sleep took priority. After working all week, sleeping for a day sounds alot better than typing, for some reason. Anyway, the house has most of the roof and exterior walls up now. Now we have some shade to hide from the sun.Â
 A few weeks ago, water got turned off in our neighborhood, for two days. As a result the city put in a porta-potty for the block. Great huh? Can you imagine the line for it in the morning. Ten families all haveing to share one, that is sitting in the middle of the block. At least they gave us one porta-potty for each street, instead of one for the entire neighborhood. Afaik, no one actauly used them, except for one laddy who was sight seeing around the island and saw it as an opportunity to relieve herself.
 Another wonderful, half thought out idea was the drinking water we got. Our landlord dropped off a 5 gallon jug of drinking water at our house. This was to be used while the tap water was turned off. Great idea, expect the jug was for a water cooler. We had to pry the lid off before we could get any water out. Trying to pour it was another story. But water is water right?
 Right before I went to Molokai my laptop died. The screen tripped out, then it refused to turn back on. I took the machine to the sony repair department to see if they would fix it. They called a month later to tell me it was going to be over $750 to fix it, and that they didn’t have an exact idea what was wrong with it. I bought the laptop for less then that, and considering I can get a much better one for $1500, I decided not the fix it. The rull of thumb on computers is that if it costs 2x as much for a new machine as it does to fix it, better to get the new machine. Infact, Compusa had a sale the other week, and for $900 I could have gotten a 1.6Ghz Core Duo, 120gb, 2gb, Ati-x1300 Laptop.  I missed it, now I gota wait for the next one. Unless someone has something simular they want to point me at, for under $1000.
