I'm enjoying the scent of orange blossoms as I walk to Trader Joe's to
buy another dozen eggs!

So? I enjoy that year around. My girlfriend buys that potpourri
****. Besides, it's the same smell as the rotten orange peels in my
garbage.


Wrong. I suspect you have never smelled real orange blossoms.


Well, since I live in Toledo where they grow no oranges, you're
probably right. But I've got some hand cream that the label says
smells like orange blossoms. But I'll bet you've never smelled real
apple blossoms or cherry blossoms.


They grow both around here, but I've never been anywhere when/where they
were blooming. Apricot blossoms don't have much smell. We bought the
dwarf orange just for the smell of the blossoms, which is fortunate --
the most oranges we ever got: 8. Most years: 0-1. Lagniappe.

Lots of snow, but all the resorts are closed. I'm waiting to find out
if the local hill will offer a discount on next year's ticket to those
of us whose current tickets lost 1/3 of their value. My bet: Nope,
pound sand.
