Corner Kick: Picking cherries

Picking cherries

We went out to Brentwood this morning to enjoy the early cherry pick-your-own season. Got 18 pounds before we realized it. Very nice, but another week or two they'll be perfect.

I agree with everything you said about $4 gas and the hard impact it's going to have on people.

Just think back to what a barrel of oil cost in 2001. It was under $20.; May 26, 2008 5:41 AM

18 pounds goes pretty fast when you give some out to a bunch of neighbors, an in-law, and a friend having a birthday party. Still, I think I personally have consumed about three pounds in three days.

ello... um, not a pretty picture, sorry to say.; May 27, 2008 3:06 PM
