Its Random Thought Day

First cold front in Houston today, beautiful sunshine, but very windy and we may see the upper 40s tonight.  Rest of the week expected to be 70s and 50s.  What a nice change from the upper 80s and 90s.

Going through some old photos, I found these photos I took at a grocery store near Denali National Park, Alaska.  The prices for the oranges and plums are for one piece of fruit--not by the pound. 

Surely much of the cost is associated with transportation of these fruits to a location so far from where they were grown.  But there are opportunities to obtain locally grown food in Alaska.  In the Matanuska River Valley a short distance north of Anchorage, veggies thrive--and they certainly aren't puny ones!  Take a look:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgtIus1eURQ
