it rained most of the way down, mostly on 75 but the traffic was good. made it to the doors 4 minutes before the doors opened. everybody pretty much made it in there right away, but inside it was black Friday. it was fun. they had enough blue java in there to plant my yard, which is big. goldfinger sweetheart, on and on. people were selling bananas 8 ft. tall but I cant remember what they were, saw them first...

the wife loved it. saw some things she wanted to buy but nobody could tell us how cold hardy they were. dragon fruit, which I thought would be ok and a garlic vine. beautiful.

I bought 2 bananas. raja puri from geosulcata [I thought celeste would be older]. and a viente cohol from going bananas. both were 16 inches in p-stem heighth, there were bigger but diidnt think I would get them in the car. seat belted them in the back seat like a couple of little kids.

oh yes and there were little kids in black t-shirts pushing and pulling carts. we got a little girl, might of been 7 had a shopping cart we used, cute as a button. followed us around with it. they don't charge nothing but it is mandatory. gave her a tip and a hard time. not mean. just tried to make her day.
