Wow, what a lot of things we've accomplished this first week:
-Car
-Car insurance
-Place to live
-Half a job
-Job applications
-A couple almost friends
-Navigation of the island
-Bank accounts
Now we just need
-Another job
-Friends
-Fuller exploration of the island
-A P.O. box
Yesterday wasn't that exciting. We returned the rental car, hung out at a beach in Kihei, went to Costco, found a new beach in Paia where we played some volleyball, and worked for a couple hours. I went to Mana, the organic grocery store, to pick up some pasta sauce, and I returned a shopping cart for Maria--for some reason I was highly amused by pushing a cart down the two or three blocks to the store, as if I was shopping the streets of Paia. I was proud that all the tourists gave me weird looks.
I figured out what's wrong with my computer. It has two fans, maybe an intake and an output one, and one of them doesn't run very often. Sometimes when I blow into the vent, a bunch of dust flies out at me. So hopefully all it needs is a good cleaning, and hopefully that's not expensive.

Hey KJ! I'm loving reading about your adventures in Hawaii. Your little town sounds amazing. I think you guys have accomplished an amazing amount for one week--keep up the good work!
Oh, and merry Christmas.

buy some canned air and blow that into your fan areas--basically blow it through your keyboard, and any other "holes" you have in your computer (I'm assuming you use a laptop?). If any of your neighbor guys know about computer hardware, have them crack open the case and blow out the inside, too. That will help a LOT! You should clean out your keyboard/ fans at least every month or so if you use your laptop a lot.
(This is 4 years of working in IT at Crown coming back to haunt me).
I hope that helps!
