[Talk-us] tiger county boundaries

[Kevin]

just an fyi for everyone to check out...
in addition to the tiger county boundaries for Hawaii, i added the U.S. 
Exclusive Economic Zone 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/279001), the U.S. 
Contiguous Zone (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/279045), 
and the U.S. Territorial Sea 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/148838) around Hawaii.
