We went to a farm in Waiahole Valley on the windward side of oahu and leveled a loi and planted some taro. We then did tug-of-war and taro patch rugby. Fun times!

Turnout was about twice what they expected and five to ten times average. Eventually they ran out of both ballots and patience. Eventually they gave up on trying to vote in an organized manner. They stopped checking ID, voter status and party membership and just had everyone write their vote on a scrap of paper and put it into a paper bag. We were on the honor system to vote once.
On the plus side, the Obama people were handing out chips and cookies.
I'm going to hit the Republican caucus in May as well, but unfortunately their race isn't as interesting this year.

These include some impressionist paintings at MoMA NYC, the zen garden at Ryoan-ji, amongst other things. Both full contrast and contrast reduced versions of the photos are available for your desktop pleasure.
Currently I am using the Ryoan-ji wall as my background.
