About that banana remnant:

First, I should have put a "tongue-in-cheek" emoticon in my original
message. Tossing 10 cents worth of banana is not one my more pressing
problems.

Second, the banana half looked a bit scruffy at the business end this
morning, but I cut off 1/8 of an inch and am enjoying it on my cereal even
as we speak.

My work here is done.
