    So we have several people in Hawaii. I can't believe that no one has come through with a supply of lava encased coins.

    "Pele's Curse" is the belief that anything natively Hawaiian, such as sand, rock, or pumice, will effect bad luck on whoever takes it away from Hawaii.

    Well, we'll get this Pele character on a technicality. It will be some poor postal worker or UPS pilot who takes it off the island, so they'll be the ones to deal with the bad luck. :p

    Pictures of the Old Town look nice, and with 1000 years of history there must be some great numismatic treasures buried around there somewhere.

    When I lived in Germany a favorite day trip was to Salzburg, Austria. I always made the trip to the castle at the top of the hill overlooking the city. A few years later I read that a small hoard of medieval gold coins had been uncovered somewhere in the castle. Not that I had been in a position to find them, but I had no doubt been within spitting distance many times.

    We want it to be. Yes I'm up here with the clampers and the California Rednecks that that see things differently than the liberals..... We don't get it. Jefferson City is music to my ears and many, many others.

    My 3 cents.

    Now lets get back to where others live. I want no trouble

    I live in the northeastern part of Oregon, (Hermiston) and if I posted a pic you would see a landscape devoid of all the mountains and trees (basically geologically featureless) most people think of when they hear "Oregon".

    Two of my ex-Marine friends say this part of Oregon looks more like Afghanistan.
