Are there any other Hawaiians on here?

Just kidding around!

Hey! I'm no haole! I'm hapa

@Winterwanderer: Mahalo! I'm just playing, I've never even been to Hawaii! I have a friend that used to always call me "Haole" and he would punch me sometimes and say "You like beef, Haole?"

@puck61: hahahah, hawaiians say that occasionally I guess, I don't live in Hawai'i, but I've been there & I'm Hawaiian.

@Winterwanderer: I'm Floridian.

I've got some Florida in me, go dolphins!

@Winterwanderer: Ha! Yeah! I don't like cold weather. We get cool enough here in the winter to remind me that I don't want to go north!

Yeah, Texas is hot year-round, we have to seasons, hot & less hot. Right now it's mid less hot.

You down around Brownsville? I've seen snow a foot in Dallas! I love it in the Hill Country around Kerrville or Fredricksburg!

Oh yeah! I almost forget how big Texas is, yeah I'm not in Dallas as you can now assume, I'm in SA, though I wish we had more distinguishable seasons here.

@Winterwanderer: I love San Antonio, but I damn near got killed there! Great place!

It's a nice place, how did you almost get killed?

Messing around under the I 10 overpass. Drinking with the vatos and homies!

Dang! That's some dangerous stuff

@Winterwanderer: Well, it shouldn't be, but I was young and stupid and homeless right along with em.

Oh, I thought you were driving, hey, at least you're not homeless anymore :D

No. I went through this phase of just being a tramp. I kind of stopped altogether in 03, but before that I was off and on. I would camp out, then I would straighten up and work and do good, and then I would get drunk and camp out some more...

Did you travel much when you were trampin about?

@Winterwanderer: Yeah, Seattle, San Francisco, Venice Beach, Denver, Tucson, San Antonio, Biloxi, Gulfport, Bellingham, Wa....and then I straightened out and moved to Arkansas, and then to Florida. It took me a hell of a long time to grow up, and I'm still working on that!

Hey! You never need to grow up completely, not growing up gave you the opportunity to see more of the country than most.
