When I first visited Hawaii and we were driving between cities on the "Highway", the first thing that I noticed is that there were no motels. There wasn't a need because you could get back home on the same day. Now Hawaii is taking the lead on installing electric vehicle charging stations- 320 of them. I think that it is wonderful, but where will all the electric cars go, so that they recharging? So I wonder where all this additional power is going to come from, certainly not from nuclear generation. Given the weather in the islands, they would be perfect for wind and solar power generation. It is a shame that there was no mention of the power source or any planned augmentation.
How do companies like Twitter, Facebook or Groupon get valued at billions of dollars ? Apparently, it is based on earning potential. That, I'm sure could change to better or worse very fast. I guess I really don't understand.

"It's gotta be weird stuffing money into a stripper's bikini when every bill has a photo of your grandmother printed on it." Ole is a farmer in Minnesota.
He is in need of a new milk cow and hears about a nice one for sale over in Nordakota

Sven reaches under, pulls the teat...the cow farts. Sven looks at Ole and says, You bought dis here cow over in Nordakota, didn't yah?' Ole is very surprised since he hadn't told Sven about his trip. Ole replies, 'Yah, dats right. But how did yah know?'

Who is Jack Schitt you ask?
The lineage is finally revealed. Many people are at a loss for a response when someone says " you don't know jack schitt."
Now you can intellectually handle the situation. Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and O Schitt.
Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O Schitt, the owner of kneedeep N. Schitt, Inc.
In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt, and the deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins, Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt.
Against her parents' wishes, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced.
Noe Schitt later married Mr. Sherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.
Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt and they produced a nervous son, Chicken Schitt.
Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt were inseparable throughout their childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony.
The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens wedding.
The Schitt-Happens children are Dawg, Byrd, and Horse.
Bull Schitt, the prodigal son left home to tour the world, and recently returned from Italy with his new bride, Pisa Schitt.
So now when someone says, "you don't know Jack Schitt", you can correct them.
