Everyone knows squashes are divided into two groups, winter and summer, bul this does not truly relute to the availability of the squash itself, “Winter” squashes are available in marketable quan- tities in August through March; “summer” squashes are avail- able all year, with peak in late spring and carly summer. Summer squash is actually immature squash with tender and edible rind and seeds, The squash surface should be shiny and free fram physical injury. Dullness indicates old age, and pitting indicates chilling in- juries, is definitely related to quality. Smaller summer squash are more tender, their seeds softer, their skins more palatable, and their flavor is milder and slightly sweeter. Winter squash has fewer visual indicators of quality. One factor, however, is weight in Telation to size, Light-weight squash may have lost too much water through evaporation and may be dry and stringy inside. hurd, the squash js likely to be immature with thin tasteless flesh.

And then three more. During the peace, it was the same. One night my wife would give a black eye for some inexplicable reason. The next day, one of the kids would come down with ap- pendicitis or something. And the third day I'd get a park- ing ticket for parking in the same place I'd parked for weeks, free. Last Saturday was no ex- ception. We were deliv our older car tomy daughter, in the city. She had finally obtained a position — not a job, mind you — as a secon- dary school teacher. For one month. But she has to commute for an hour and a half, at each end of the day. So, in her inimitably modest and self-effacing way, she phoned her old man. (collect) and suggested he loan her the old Dodge, market value $150, real value about $500, sentimental value about $12,000. Thi: swould cut her commuting ‘time to forty minutes, So, in his inimitably stupid way, her old man agreed (why doesn't she move to Vancouver?) And in his inet fably idiotic way, her old man started worry wt about her safety. So the old man, to cut a long story to ribbons, spent dollars $125 in a check-up and repairs so that his baby wouldn't cream herself on highway and leave said old man with two grandchildren to raise.
