Good idea, OTOH, I only need one while I'm on the mainland. I'm betting
that the next time I'm there, the rental car will have one.

The first time I was in the bay area, I got lost and couldn't find my
way back to San Mateo, and then my car ran out of gas. Of course, I
didn't have any money so I walked down the hill to a bank which cashed
my Hawaiian Electric refund check which was the only funds I had. I
think it was for 7 bucks or so. This allowed me to buy a gallon of gas.
What are the chances that a bank would cash a out of state utility
check? Kinda slim, I guess.

On this rock, we only have two directions - towards the mountain and
towards the sea. Mauka and makai. On the mainland, I can't even tell
where the ocean is. That's the breaks.
