mango season

06/21/12 08:46

The other day my friend Susan dropped off some mangoes from the two trees in her yard, and I was reminded of how, up north in the summer, people would give you their surplus zucchinis. 'Foist off on you' might be a better way to put it. One slow news week Russell Baker wrote a hilarious column for the New York Times about how every summer he'd get bombarded by friends bearing zucchinis, a vegetable that he - and quite a few other people apparently - didn't have much use for. You had an image of people receiving zucchinis and then passing them on like fruitcakes.

In South Florida friends give us mangoes, and nobody writes humorous columns about it. We accept them gratefully and eat them sloppily, drippingly, happily.

Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could
get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having difficulty finding one? Thanks a lot!

It’s genuinely very difficult in this active life to listen news on Television, therefore I only use world wide web for that reason, and take the latest news.
