My beach house felt the effects and I'm loading the bus for a trip down to check things out....
No damage here...By no damage I mean all the trees remain standing....there are multiple news reports of downed trees...The air is filled with the sounds of yard machines as my neighbors clean up...

I have to admit I've never had to deal with this particular nastiness. Bonding with cats and one very special dog, then wrestling with the emotional Vesuvius you have to tamp out when they die? Many times.
Adding to that the duty of disposing of their broken, dismembered bodies? Ain't been there. Oh, I've buried many a cat. But the furball I've shoveled dirt onto in death has always been a last glimpse of the intact body I knew in life.

Good morning, Peeps.
Hiya, Princess.
Dee, I hope that your beach house is ok.
PI, I buried my cat in my yard.
Happy Independence Day All !!!
Dee I wasn't worried about you. I figure if comes to a fight between you and a couple of hundred mile/hr wind... somehow you'll come out on top

Sooooo...a week or so back I decided to purchase some avocadoes. Why? Not sure. All I know about avocados is that they are green. And they are a necessary ingredient for guacamole. And they are full of good fat and vitamins. And various shades of green. I like green. Green and purple, my two favorite colors. And pink. Some pinks, not all...I digress.
Well, I haven't met too many guacamoles that I like but I am feeling adventurous in the kitchen these days so I am thinking I can make my own that I do.
Only problem is I don't know how to judge an avocado as ripe. They are not native in my life. I know when a peach is ripe by touch and look, I know when a watermelon is ripe by thumping and sometimes the color of its "tail", I know a cantaloupe by the hue of the orange that shines beneath the rind but I do not have a clue when an avocado is ripe...it is green. Inside and out. Just green.
But that's what Google is for, right? As luck would have it, they came with instructions on their little bar-code sticker.
Ripe When Soft.
OK! I can do this!
Uhhh...no. No I can't.
Wishing all y'all a Happy Fourth!!

After a few avocados you'll be a pro. If it is hard it is under ripe, if it is mushy it is over ripe and if you can press it firm/soft then flick off the button on the end if it reveals yellow/green then it is just right but if it reveals brown/black then it is gross inside.
I'm with Jerry, don't like guacamole all that much no need to ever buy an avocado.

I don't know.
I am avocado-shy now.
I have learned, without flicking buttons, that brown/black is not another shade of green. And yes, it is gross inside
One potato, two potatoes.
One tomato, two tomatoes.
One avocado, two avocados.
Not avocadoes but I am leaving it be...unless I change it avocad-NOes.
I am thinking I am with you on this one, Moon and Jerry, especially after this experiment.

Born and raised in SoCal, I think I can speak with authority on matters avocado, as ripeness can be ascertained in the same manner as posteriors.
Give yours a pinch, Pokey. Now pinch the avocado in your hand. Just about the same? You're good to go.

I should save this technique for after I've returned home from the store, I think?
Yeah, I think.

You could always ask a kindly gentleman to help, I've always felt an unbiased opinion was important.
No, then it's too late. You've paid for the damn things. Just tell any zit-faced kids who witnessed your fruit-testing that you're an undercover FDA inspector. That several new hormone-laced zits will break out on their teenaged faces tomorrow is not your fault. Really.
Haha Evie! I love avocados, but getting decent ones up here is no easy task.

"Kindly" gentlemen? Can I see a show of volunteers?
Put you hand down, Jerry.
Hi Bovinia, it does seem when I'm in the mood for a good avocado they're pretty hard to find or out of season.
I don't like them very often. - Status
