I bought an Orange Dew Melon the other day, oh man was it ripe, melt in your mouth.

Never been a big Watermelon fan.

Isn't that a cantaloupe?

I don’t normally like bunting, but when I do Hanser does it. It’s an extension of his  mojo.

Great eye.

Fun fact:   Everest isn't the tallest mountain in the world.

It's the highest.   But when you are at its base in Nepal, you are already way above sea level.

Kilamanjaro is actually taller because its base is basically at sea level in the Serengeti desert, as Toto has taught us.

Toto compared it to Olympus which is no where near as tall.  Roughly half as tall if I remember correctly.

I like that stuff ...... but the Rays' announcers pointed out that it was an excellent opportunity to get a bunt single if he had pushed the ball more, because of the set-up of the Rays' infielders.

Bordick said the same. Was as much trying for the base hit, just did't push it toward 3B.

But if you count the ecuatorial bulge of the earth, the top of Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador is the closest point on earth to the sun.

Orange Dew melon is a hybrid cross between a Cantaloupe and a Honeydew. It has defining traits of both melons with a smooth, thin yellow skin and a creamy orange interior that is both juicy and sweet.

As I said earlier, those guys (the Rays' announcers) are very good.

Love Cantaloupe/Muskmelon.
Love Watermelon

Never enjoyed green Honeydew. Guess I have never been served a good one.

[scOtt]

Good game! Not pretty but a good battle. Pitching and D not too great.

Didn't know that. Had never heard of it.

And then there is Canary melon.

They are super ripe down here...you can see the discoloration starting on the skin.  So nice.

I find unripe melon very disappointing.
