The next generation tree

 
Praise be to Allah, Who has saved us from people who do wrong.

Hi Natty!  Oh goodie, more pretty pictures!  You look more comfortable sitting down, Honey.  And your legs really stand out when you're confident.  Those shoes are a huge deal.  That's what the pros wear.  You could wear something more comfortable, but you're not going to be able to truly compete on the red carpet.  Not only do the spike heels look better, but humans are shallow in general.  They're going to associate spike heels with what the professionals wear.  It seems to me that you have a choice.  You must wear those shoes all the time to be confident.  You can save the comfortable shoes for when you're not on the job.

My grandfather planted an amra tree in my front yard a long time ago, but it got old and died from termites.  I potted a sprout from the old tree 14 years ago.  I kept it in the pot because I wanted to make a bonsai, but it wasn't happy so I put it in the ground a couple of years ago.  It grew fast, and is now bearing fruit.  Amra is all season, and the fruit can be eaten ripe or unripe.  The unripe fruit has the texture of a firm cucumber and tastes like cucumber, with a slight tartness.  The ripe fruit is closer to a mango.  I pickled some amra yesterday.  I'm hoping to use them in sandwiches.
