Traffic Jams in Hawaii? Yep, you are never safe from traffic to rob you of all your productivity; http://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/stories/2004/03/01/daily6.html?f=et71 House prices going up too http://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/stories/2004/03/01/daily3.html?f=et71 and with the new giant construction project needing about 17,000 contractors money is about to flow into the Hawaiian economy as the Kona Coffee flies itself the other way again to Starbucks: http://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/stories/2004/03/01/daily2.html?f=et71 . But today the jobless rate in the Welfare Island is up again for the time being? http://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/stories/2004/03/01/daily4.html?f=et71 . The weather has been pounding Hawaii lately but Hawaii is far from washed out, we are bullish on the islands. Looks like this big storm on it’s way to LA has already left a very wet day on one of our islands not to far away. As Hawaii, got slammed and it will affect the crops there, of which agriculture is quite a big industry. It very much affected any Leafy crop. Leaving many such crops in fair to poor condition due to cold. The fruit and vine crops remained in fair condition, but not without a toll. On the Big Island they need rain big time. These continuous rainstorms very much helped the leeward side of the island. The Kona districts received much needed water and they need the fresh water since the construction and growth has over grown water storage capacity. Sound familiar? Maui was also very cool and wet, which will keep it quite lush for future visits and water golf courses. On Kauai, the weather did cause crop problems. So you are wondering what the specific crops crops are in the Hawaiian Islands? And why should we care: http://www.TractorWashGuys.com . You see some crops like lots of water and it actually helps for instance bananas like rain. On Waianae and Windward Oahu fields were in mostly fair to good condition. Central Oahu orchards were in good condition with moderate harvest. The Eastern Hawaii Island orchards were in only fair shape. Papayas like hard rain less than bananas do, however the of Big Island and on Kauai things are just okay. Chinese cabbage can handle heavy rains and help as it cut back need for normal irrigation. The Waimea crop is in somewhat and relatively good condition. Head cabbage can be hurt by such rain and Cucumbers: Wet weather hindered development and harvest. It grows on the windward side and Central Oahu, which showed issues from the storms. There are disease issues now on the windward side Oahu fields. Sweet corn had issues, which can grow well on the on windward side of Oahu and new planting is now going on due to cloudy, wet conditions. Current harvests of sweet corn were not so good due to small and the many empty ears. Maui onions really need more dry weather so this was bad news for onions and the Department of Agriculture in Hawaii declared this crop in marginally fair condition. Older fields and fields being harvested suffered increased damage from rot and overall poor quality as the Hawaiian Ag website showed. Lettuce was hit on Oahu supplies are expected to be at light levels. Crop condition with storms and the seasonal cloudy, wet weather is over all in just okay shape. These are all issues as Hawaii’s economy is trying to move back to prosperity and is having a bit of a problem. Hawaii has dirty cars there, quit a few of them: http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0703/00000004.htm . ------- -------- ------ ------- ------ ------- Kyoto Treaty Protocol would have cost US 400 Billion in economic output by 2010. Ouch, are you sure you want John Kerry as President? Hmmm? He is the one in receipt of the GAO report. http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d04144r.pdf . Question is can we afford it? Well here is what the pentagon is now saying happens if we do not: OH KNOW, WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE? Well, not if you put me in charge of things? http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=04/02/21/0609786 . Why? Well the Conservatives say because of climate changes and the liberals say it is your SUV now with longer terms and better financing too: B of A Auto group, which handles over 4500 franchised dealerships in the US is adding to take advantage of the new 8 year loans and new models being sold. They are expanding in the New England states. http://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/stories/2004/02/23/daily33.html?f=et64 . Well when all those cars come back to the auto auctions unpaid for and people cannot make payments we will detail them for the Bank? http://www.DetailGuys.com . And the cars which are not sold her are on their way to the Middle East? Nissans by the Ship Load? 550 at a time? Yep. Cars going into the Middle East quickly; http://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/stories/2004/02/23/daily36.html?f=et64 And if they do not get there through Pakistan like all those Toyota trucks in Baghdad they will go by ship. Of course these Toyota Trucks are not as fast as the new ones that NASCAR has now? HELLO, the need for speed: Toyota Racing NASCAR Truck; http://www.popsci.com/popsci/auto/article/0,12543,594637,00.html . Some only with chassis and the other beds and parts built there or shipped over too.
