The melon flavor that I so dislike is maybe close to the flavor of Riesling and other sweet wines that I cannot stand.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Hi JenP!!
I like all the melons, mixed together in a fruit salad too. There is one that is yellow, can't remember name, that is super sweet and tasty.
Unrelated, I also have issues with teeth grinding
Same here, and lately it is worse than ever. Need to dig out my guard. I just use a generic drug store variety, but it works.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
People who live in California might have a distorted view of what various fruits are like in the rest of the country, most of the year.
Melons are fine if they're perfectly ripe, but that's a hard target to hit.

If so, no perfectly ripe melon has ever made it to the table of anyone encouraging me to try them.

I had no idea one could hate melons. Live and learn.
(Hail to all melons, other than a yellowish melon that is slimy and tastes like nothing and does not worth the effort).

Well, minus-t is NorCal and seriously anti-melon and anti-Riesling!
But point taken.
So...it's turning into pure chaos in Washington right now.
The doctor said one thing about Trump that was all rosy, and two minutes later Mark Meadows contradicted him and said Trump's vitals were very concerning.
There are going to be a lot more Senators and politicians testing positive over the next several days.
I note specifically the Senators because it could legitimately affect the SCOTUS hearings they're trying to jam in before the election.

A group of people ignore a beloved woman's dying wish and rush to take advantage of her death.
They hold an event to announce their corrupt plan...
...and then one by one they start falling ill.
Gotta admit, it's all very Stephen King.
Have to admit it sounds like one of mine. Except where are the tentacles? There should be tentacles.

It will truly be sweet justice if enough GOP Senators stay infected to keep the SCOTUS nomination from proceeding. Keep hugging each other fellas.

How has McConnell escaped so far? I mean, I wouldn't want to hug him, but that's true for most of the others, too.
