They adjectives to describe them are astringent, or here's what John Smith said.<br /><br />"If it be not ripe it will drawe a mans mouth awrie with much torment; but when it is ripe, it is as delicious as an Apricock," wrote Captain John Smith about an unusual orange fruit the settlers in Jamestown discovered."<br /><br />www.wildmanstevebrill.comE.

I don't think of it as I should also. Instead of the wastecan, I should have a bin for recycling in my office.<br /><br />towriteistowrite-yes, we've all gone down that bunny trail. I ended up researching persimmons yesterday. We had been on the road and stopped at a rest area in VA. A tree bearing fruit caught my attention and when I got home, I just had to find out what it was--so, no I didn't get anything done over the weekend on my WIP. But I do know that Native American's made persimmon beer way back when!E. B.

It is a fire hazard, though. Hubby takes a stack of newspapers to recycle every week or so. Why have I not thought of putting my papers on that stack?

But then, I mostly wear jeans and teeshirts or sweatshirts at this time of year, so maybe my research has been cheap!E. B.

As an addiction it is quite cheap and relatively harmless. Isn't it better to write some idiot into your work and knock him/her off than to actually do the deed?Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.com
