<WBR>Yes, they do have xmas trees here, and lots of decorations, just like on the mainland. But the real trees have to be inspected before they are allowed off the ship or plane. We've had several containers and one plane load rejected because they contained wasps and/or other bugs and even a snake, that would raise havoc with balance of nature on the islands. <br>

BTW,Santa doesn't come down the chimney, because there are no chimneys here. Instead, he arrives on a canoe on Waikiki beach. <br>

<div><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I've done 6 action brackets this year. Haven't had one fall apart, though. Must be that nice Hawaii climate. Adjusting the rail so the jacks are lined up works most times for me too. Even if someone has tried to reg the action to stop the blocking, they usually don't mess with the jack position and that's usually set pretty accurately at the factory. BTW, do they have x-mas trees in Hawaii? </FONT><br>
