Yummy Orange Sweetness


Quote of the day:
“When Moses brought the Ten Commandments down from Mount Sinai, he may have been high on a hallucinogenic plant, according to a new study by an Israeli psychology professor. Writing in the British philosophy journal Time and Mind, Benny Shanon of Jerusalem’s Hebrew University said two plants in the Sinai desert contain the same psychoactive molecules as those found in plants from which the powerful Amazonian hallucinogenic brew ayahuasca is prepared.”

Today we celebrate the orange.

A neighbor is regularly giving us oranges from his tree. They don’t look as sparkly as the ones you see in the grocery store.

But put a quarter in your mouth, and man is it good! Juicy juicy, soft, no seeds.

Maybe because the oranges are very local, we are helping the planet. I suppose that would need a full evaluation.

The important thing is that they’re a joy to see, smell and taste in the morning.

And it’s also somewhat important to have the opportunity to behave like an eight year old and jam the orange quarter in your mouth and look at your spouse.
