I am thrilled to announce that I have found another Dragon fruit, this time of the Yellow-skinned variety!

Dashing around town on a brisk march afternoon, I appreciated the luxury of driving a car that would always be out of my price range.It seemed strange to me that one’s insurance company would reward you for getting hit by another vehicle by giving you an absolutely-amazing-piece-of-human-engineering with traction control and the new cars smell!
