I went to an organic stone fruit festival yesterday. The most pretentious, rude asshats were in attendance, which ruined an otherwise nice time sampling fruits from local farms, getting some delicious pie, and watching the kids ride on a pony carriage. Not going back next year simply because of the crowd.

With the Giants' game, Nascar and the overcast, me and my family had a good time. No crowds.

You should pull off the U-pick while you can with your kids. If you can't reach and don't want a ladder, lift one of your kids up. Firm twist not required if it is ripe enough.

We do that every-so-often. There is an organic blueberry field about a mile away. They can pick to their hearts content without having a fridge full of fruit we have to eat before it goes bad.
