[Magdalen] California drought

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I think some powers that be (not nature, that's for sure) are fiddlin' with 
avocados the last couple of years... sometimes the pulp is actually woody... 
or other weird things on the skins, which sometimes, but not every time, 
indicate weird stuff within... in TX we have them year around and usually 
very reasonably priced, most all from Mexico.
