The Masked Bandit Strikes Again
Last weekend (the 24th), Sandy and I went down to Jensen Beach to visit my mom at the condo. Well, like any good trip to south florida during the summer, the masked bandit struck the local fruit trees. We scored mangos, apple bannanas, limes, and starfruit. It was a pretty good haul, and this time Sandy did a fantastic job of playing scout (rather than last summer when she just kept muttering we were going to jail).

Sure, we should probably not purloin fruit like that, but every single tree we hit had rotten fruit that had fallen to the ground sitting underneath. If the people that own the land will not take the fruit for themselves, then by god we will. It sure beats paying good money for the same fruit at the local Publix!

On the bad side, my allergy to mango sap flared up and I have a nasty rash on my left forearm. Cortaid helps keep the itching from driving me nuts, and benedryl puts me out at night, but it'll be healed within a week.

I'll post pictures of our haul today or tomorrow. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy my luscious fresh fruit!
