Saturday

i talked to my daughter this morning and she was concerned -- she's been reading about it and only wants to get fruit & veggies at a local farmer's place, etc.

and when she starts being concerned about something i tend to take notice b/c between the two of us she seems to be the more logical, practical, rational one.

so i've been looking at a tomato and nectarine on my counter today and wondering if i should just throw them out.
