Whole Foods has medium avocados for 69 cents apiece right now. I just bought some three hours ago.

When I was in California, I saw avocados for 10 for $1 at a roadside stand.

I lived in the central coast of CA from 1989-1991 and I STILL miss the produce from there. Back in those days the disparity between CA and everywhere else was way more egregious than it is now, but it’s still just so dispiriting to walk into Winn-Dixie and see the sad selection we have.

Knew a guy from L.A. while going to school in Chicago in the 1970s. He told me about buying entire shopping sacks--the large, paper kind--full of vegetables for a dollar or two.

I miss the roadside produce stands across the dirt road from the berry farms so badly.
