Who Knew?

Saw a hand painted sign the other day that read, local grown, hand picked caramel apples. Uh What? I didn't know you could get a CARAMEL apple tree. I thought you just got a tree that gave you those naked, without the caramel, apples. The kind that taste so much better with caramel on them. Where do I get me one of those trees?Next hing you know there will be strawberry banana bushes and peaches and cream ponds.

Then today, while checking the Maryland Department of Assessments and taxation site for a homeowner's name, I look down below all of the stuff I normally need to a category that says NEAR: and there, bold as brass it read Scotland.DUH WHA? Scotland? Really. The bagpipes and what is really worn ounder those kilts Scotland. The Scotland that is oh... let's say... Across the freaking Atlantic Ocean! What happened? Did it break loose and float all the way here to Maryland. I'm pretty certain that America didn't move but what do I know? I've been sunk so low in the Slough of Despond, I;m lucky to remember to change my underwear... or wear underwear.

Hey! Maybe that's where the caramel apple trees came from. They floated on over with Scotland and jumped ship, digging their rootsies deep into Maryland soil. That's fine by me but let's hope the haggis stays where it belongs. I mean, how hungry must a person be to eat haggis? IK'd rather chew on a sock.
