Nobody try to shoot me, but on the way home, I stopped at one of our
roadside strawberry fields and got three baskets in a cardboard
holder, which means they're piled so high it's at least four baskets
and probably more. (Several always tumble out when I set it in my
car.) Fresh picked, right out of the field, and it was a grand $5.50
U.S. And I get 35 pound boxes of oranges for $8. Cheap produce is
one of the benefits of living out here.

By the way, great sig line.
