the cherries have been very good this year. i mean, very good. we have been eating the hell out of them. i mean, like, we are going through probably... well, i purchased 4.37lb today, so i would say we are easily going thru 10lb per week. seeing as how there are only two of us here, well... you do the math. the point is -- CHERRIES GOOD. and you might say, so what, ace? to which i would say, isn't the earth an interesting object. this year, cherries good. last year, cherries not so good. next year, who knows about cherries. every single edible thing on the earth has up ticks and down ticks. sometimes cherries good, sometimes broccoli good, sometimes tuna good, sometimes chickens good. part of what i am trying to say is that i am fairly certain we aren't doing this food thing quite correctly, and part of what i am trying to say is that whoever first called it "global warming" did the whole concept a disservice. to the first point, i believe we should be mixing it up a bit more, both in what we are growing and what we are consuming. to the second point, calling it climate change is more precise and less likely to be mocked by everyone all with the "global warming haha it's snowing" and whatnot. and you might say, what does climate change have to do with mixing it up a bit in the growing and the eating, ace? to which i would say, you really need to connect those dots for yourself.

last week, i purchased cherries which were grown in high-altitude washington state. the package claimed these cherries were grown 'a half-mile closer to the moon'.

did you hear me?

"a half-mile closer to the moon"

that is just about the coolest slogan ever.
