Pom

I love Mango's! I also enjoy a good kiwi! Pineapple is delicious! Fig's will delight you! Pomegranate's are splendid! The dilemma you ask? All of them are not available year round and at the same time. Shucks. Or is it so bad? We could try and pump our fruit with chemicals to make them ripe year round, but the joy isn't in eating them year round. The joy is in realizing, that right when your luscious mango you crave daily, has expired it's existence at your local market, you see that something new and refreshing has replaced them. You forget all your troubles, tell the mango's you'll see them next year, all lights turn green, everyone wins the lottery, birds chirp, my brother sings praises for the sun at 0430 in the morning, all mail is delivered on time, and the girl at starbucks gives you a free Pike Place today just because Pomegranate's are in season!! Oh joyful pomegranates!! Praises, Praises!

"Black holes, coffee, and SVT."

I made some coffee this morning. But I didn't use the trusty and faithful coffee pot. I decided I would boil some water, grind some coffee beans by hand using an old coffee grinder we found at a garage sale, and then mix those together in my french press. After the conglomeration of water and coffee grounds, I decided I would try and see if sunlight could penetrate my coffee. As a result, I decided that what all the scientists refer to as "black holes" in our solar system, that suck in all matter cause they are so dense, is nothing more than coffee poured from a french press. The physics behind the big french press in outer space is another topic we will focus on some other time. For now, I just wanted everyone to see my 'black hole" coffee that absorbed all traces of sunlight. If your wondering if I actually drank the "black hole" coffee... well ... yes I sure did. But I had to mix it with one part cream and two parts water. Otherwise I fear I would go in SVT for the next week. (Super Ventricular Tachycardia, where your heart beats in excess of 220 beats per minute. I wouldn't recommend it.)
