I've been "coopin" all the genip trees waiting for them to get ripe...then Melissa made an observation that made me go hmmmm...
ever noticed the roads are lined with genip trees...do you think it's cause of all the people sucking them while driving and throwing the seeds out the windows? 😀

Juanita--
Sorry to tell you the little blond dog was hit and killed. We live very near the area and everyone on our road tried to pick her up; we left out food and water but she just wouldn't let us rescue her. She stayed on our side for a while but when she started crossing 75 we knew she wouldn't last too long.

I'm jealous of your mangoes! When I was there in February, obviously, there were none. When I was a little kid and my cousins in Miami had a huge mango tree, I didn't like them... and now I love them. Figures. When does mango season generally start and end on STX?

boyd46,
Oh my God. It was Saturday morning, we were on our way to Sunny Isle, and we had a bunch of stuff in the car, so my husband said he would go back. As soon as we got home, he got in his truck and went looking for her. I even said to him, now that we've decided to pick her up, I hope it doesn't cause some bad karma or something like that. My husband just left to go to Caribe. I know he will be looking. I really hate to have to tell him. Thanks for letting me know.

Juanita,
We may be talking about 2 different dogs; the one that was hit was a few weeks ago.
Sorry.
Hopefully someone can rescue this new one.

Thanks!! 🙂 Sorry about the other dog, but now we will really be on a mission to save this one! Sooooo glad not to have to give my husband that bad news.

senator hill got in some really good digs about the senate being sued,and people barking lol one has to wonder if it's because of the law that was passed about usie being a stalker or something,serville was his usual idiotic self,wesselhoff was decent,malone just wanted to leave and go eat more and nelson lol he needs to color out the grey in those nasty dreds he wears,ottley was decent,they went on recess a few minutes ago
