 I don't know a thing about those critters in Hawaii. If I saw one, I'd

when I was a kid, it was a bunch of terrified swimmers being chased by a
pack of barracuda. That picture struck me in a peculiar way. You could
say that it was not in a good way.

 Do you ever see Jacksons or Veiled chameleons in your part of Hawai'i?
We now have one of each as pets in screened enclosures, but I'm told
that both are invasive species in parts of the islands.

 The chameleons have been in Hawaii for 20/30 years. They are fascinating
animals but really are too tough to keep. We've had several but it never
ended up well for the chameleons. Good luck with yours!
 If you keep your eyes open, you're always going to see some new invasive
animals popping up around here. There's not much that can be done about
that. If we start seeing snakes, I'm leaving!

 Don't you worry! Snakes are cute and have a great personality! (If you don't go too close or poke them with a stick)
 When I stay at my house in spain, from time to time there are snakes basking in the sun. I sometimes try to see how close I can get without them slithering away or becoming aggressive.
 There are also porpoises, very friendly as well, but very, very shy.

Ha, so you get Spain and Parma ham when the seasons chill then, how exceptional!

Oh, and I can add, what further added to my fame in this store, is that when I had my wedding ceremony in spain, I bought the only bottle of Dom Perignon they had for about 300 USD. The bottle had been sitting there for years, was all dusty, and when I was going to pay for it, the woman thought the price was wrong and had to call the owner who confirmed the price. After that day, I have a feeling they recognize me.
Then the glass cabinet where it was was empty for 2 years, but last year I saw that they refilled it with a new bottle. Maybe I'll buy it to create some more head lines at my next wedding anniversary! ;)
