1. Etymology gleanings for September 2016

As usual, let me offer my non-formulaic, sincere thanks for the comments, additions, questions, and corrections. I have a theory that misspellings are the product of sorcery, as happened in my post on the idiom catch a crab (in rowing). According to the routine of many years, I proofread my texts with utmost care.

3. On My Honor: Hawaii’s Roadside Stands

One of the quirky, fun things about Hawai‘i is its abundance of roadside fruit stands. These stands offer a variety of  fruits in season, like mango, liliko‘i (passion fruit), papaya, avocado, and more. Just about all of the island roadside stands have one thing in common: the honor system. Customers are invited to take the fruit they like, so long as they deposit the correct amount of cash in the box or can left explicitly for that purpose. Here’s a recently discovered roadside stand. They only have avocado, but it is tasty avocado!

4. Question for the day


If a plant grows from seed (tomato, watermelon, etc.) how do they grow seedless ones? I was just looking at Burpee Seeds online and noticed they have a new seedless tomato. How can they sell me seed for a seedless plant?  I know it is done but it seems like you would get one crop of "seedless" and be out of business. Where is the next crop going to come from?? What next, seedless avocado?
