Pardon My Interruption: Craig's Thoughts About This And That
When I was about 10 years old, there was a CB radio craze sweeping America. Seemingly everybody had a radio; and having a radio meant having a handle – the equivalent of a username in the internet age.
My handle was The Watermelon Kid, which is kinda strange since I didn’t – and still don’t – like watermelon. Anyway, here is a photo of some melons in the Jerusalem market; they are seedless and about $0.50 per pound.
Some eggplants are in the market now, but they don’t look very good. I think I’ll wait to buy some of those.
Cantaloupes are in the market now, and they range in price from $0.70-$0.90 per pound, which, I think is pretty good.
While these clearly aren’t Pecos cantaloupes – which are in very short supply this year, I’m told they are very good. Since I don’t like melon – of any kind – I can’t verify those reports.
The Israeli cantaloupes are more oval than the American melons I’m more familiar with. I also noticed that they are alternatively called pineapple melons or orange pineapples on the price signs, which sounds funny to me. I don’t understand the pineapple connection.
