Would you believe me if I told you that a house nearby put up a fancy schmancy sign post and it sat up for a couple of weeks empty? You probably would. Would you believe the sign that fits into the elaborate sign post is of a Starfleet vessel and the words “Family Name’s Final Frontier” (written in a Star Trek typeface ala Deep Space Nine)?
Would you believe that while growing up our family and our grandparents had huge fig bushes that produced so much fruit we could hardly keep up with the output? Would you believe I saw a sign for figs today at the grocery store and those figs were $1.49 a piece? Without breaking out my abacus, I would imagine that I’ve eaten a thousand dollars worth of figs over my lifetime.
I never cared for figs much until my sister-in-law gave me some that she had grown. I definitely wouldn’t buy them for $1.49 a piece but they must be lumped into that exotic fruit category these days.
