Hawaiian pineapple were the best on earth.
AMEN! The first time I had a slice of locally grown “Allowed to fully ripen on the plant before being picked” pineapple, was an amazing experience.
Almost like the first time I had a Philippine mango.
The Garlic from Gilroy and Hollister sure was tasty. Now the bulbs are this nasty stuff from golly knows where.
Somebody on the locked thread was asking about the presidential motorcade.
In my experience, and I say this without regard to party or politics, the president showing up anywhere is more trouble than it is worth. Huge pain in the ass for anybody and everybody involved. They have 2 of everything - AF1, and 2 helicopters, 2 “beast” cars, and then a gazillion advanced security teams, support personnel, backup equipment, and they come in and lockdown everything and closing everything down. And then, there are all the military backups, and a whole secondary and teritary gaggle of press, camp followers, and other assorted strap hangers. One huge CF.
I’m pretty sure even hard core democrats are not in a welcoming mood, they just don’t need photo ops and shopping sprees right now.
