November 4th

Today I am grateful for a global market, and the fact that fruit travels.

Were it not for this phenomenon, I would have to be Chinese to eat an orange. Or have visited China.

But, no. Citrus fruits are not only trucked from their original homeland, but they are now grown outside their original homeland! This has been the case for over a thousand years, but I am grateful for it nonetheless.

So, thank you people who shipped oranges out of China, and then planted them in other regions. Thank you so much.
