i think everyone needs to take a page out of molokai's book. They really delivered when it came to meeting the demands of their peoples needs while still maintaining that goal of sustainability and self reliance.

Yep, you were busy Matt. Nice job on this again. Molokaʻi Nui A Hina still permeates the Aina.
