On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Oh god, they just replayed the second most (first was launch) stressful part of servicing mission 4. Breaking a handle off the telescope. Still makes me want to barf.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I should get some avocados.

I'm a simple woman. An avocado with a squeeze of lime and sprinkle of salt does me just fine.

Really. I am possibly irritated.

Warning -t about the case of avocados: it can be hard to eat a whole case by yourself. I find it can be hard sometimes to eat the TJs 4 pack in time. Although it can simultaneously be hard to keep enough avocados on hand when I only buy 4 at time. Go figure.

That often is exactly what I want. I like to have some other options to try on occasion.

That is exactly my concern, Burrell! i have had pretty good luck with freezing excess avocado, though, so I might give it a try. Once I find out exactly how many come in a case.

I often use the fridge to slow down ripening once they've reached a certain stage.

Right, that's totally an option. I am not good at remembering that, for some reason. Once they get into the fruit bowl on the table they mostly stay there until they are eaten or need bits cut off of them.
