That said, the guy lamenting how he can't have a shaved ice on the boardwalk was awesome. You have this incredible tragedy unfolding, 36 people dead, and buddy is thinking about how it'll be a few years before he can slurp on a slurpee in comfort. I'm really hoping Maui can rebuild ASAP so we can get him and his son out there; it's definitely the personal side of this nightmare that really brings it home and I'm glad he shared his harrowing tale of great loss with us.

Exactly. That's the point of message boards. If we all just repeated the same Thoughts and Prayers hollow horsecrap, this place would have fizzled long ago. Shaved ice isn't very good either.
