Christmas oranges

We bought the traditional box of Mandarin oranges on our way home from work last night.  I tossed a couple in my lunch today (and ate them both shortly after arriving at work), and I'm already thinking that we may need to buy another box later this week.  =9

I peeled one last night, dropped the segments into a glass, and covered them with iced vodka.  The vodka picked up a very subtle orange flavour, but the orange slices... yowzers!  If they'd been dipped in dark, semi-sweet chocolate they could have induced spontaneous orgasms.  As it was, they were really good.

Calling up the Environment Canada page and seeing things like this:

make alcohol that much more appealing.

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie nor establish the truth. Through violence , you can murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

- Martin Luther King, Jr.
