Maybe a Box of Tangerines?

Drive, Eat, Eat, Drive: the Plotniks' short four-day trip to Stiletto. Today is drive. There will be no time to do anything much while there, but we'll be back in a few weeks for Mummy P.'s 95th Birthday.

Monday is not Sunday. Sunday was hot, lazy. Today it's cold and there are traffic jams out there. Plot and Duck haven't driven South in over a year, since the cost of plane tickets started going down, down, down. Those days seem to be over, at least during the summer. How can it be that a 12 hour-each-way flight to Buenos Aires only costs $500 round trip but 45 minutes to Stiletto City costs $200 there and back?

Of course, it's the middle of winter in Buenos Aires, but look outside, Plotnik! What do you see? Fog and wind. Once we're over the Bay Bridge, that'll be the end of that.

Fruit Stand in Avenal, here we come. Hope you're still there. Great tangerines this time of year.
