Very nice pictures Nat. Were there more metric signs and if so what were
they usually describing?
Did you speak to people or hear other people speak metric when you were
there? How metric friendly did you find Hawaii?

Subject: [USMA:45599] Hawaii metric
Back in June I got stuck with the dirty job of having to attend an NSF
grantees conference, in of all places, Honolulu. So I managed,
particularly
considering it was being paid for out of the grant.
When the conference was over I was stuck in Honolulu on a Thursday night,
with not much on the calendar for the following week as it was a short
week
due to 4th July. So I made the best of a bad situation, and spent a few
days on the Big Island, Maui, and Kauai. <g>
In the course of the week I noticed a lot of metric road signs, which I've
attached. More general pictures are at
