Celebrate?


August 21st, 1959 the Territory of Hawai’i became the 50th state. The celebration marking 50 years of statehood has been rather low-keyed.

Why? Read here for a bit of history. I have managed to live in two states that were independent countries before statehood: Hawai’i and Texas. Whatever your thoughts are about the Aloha State, it has a wonderful culture and history.

Aloha!
