The History and Significance of Palestine's Orange Industry and Its Cultural Loss

The orange was once a national symbol of Palestine, with a rich history dating back to the introduction of sweet orange varieties by Portuguese traders in the 15th and 16th centuries. By the late 18th century, oranges and lemons were widely cultivated, especially in Jaffa, which became famous for it... [More info]

Good morning. 🍊🍊🍊

3 October 2025

I had a plumber come in yesterday to unstop our kitchen sink. He was a nice enough young man and did a good job, but the cost to get him to snake out the drain gave me sticker shock. It was nearly twice what it was the last time I called them. I imagined being told in an Eastern European accent "the price is the price." The plumbing company is the one I normally call, but the next time I need the sink unplugged I might consider calling somebody else, or not I'll have to wait and see how I feel at the time.

We're supposed to walk this morning but I'm again getting a late start. We may just do a few laps around the property today. One lap is roughly a quarter mile so I can get a little exercise in that way and Charlie stays off the leash when we stay here so he can run and jump or just get inquisitive about all of the surrounding scents. I'll need to dig out my waterproof hiking shoes; there is dew in the morning.

After that, I may tend to the bird feeders, because they don't tend to themselves. I get to feeling a little bad when I look out and there are birds just hanging around empty feeders while staring at the backdoor. You'd think that I'm exaggerating, which I may be, but it sure seems like that's what they do.

“The price is the price.” — Taken (film, 2008) — sovereign utterance from the Ministry of Unyielding Transactions

“But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.” — E.B. White

“Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.” — Henry David Thoreau

I have been checking the orange tree daily to see its progress and today there was an orange waiting for me on the ground! A little bit green but when I cut it open, it was surprisingly ripe and quite juicy. Not super sweet but also not eye-twitchingly sour. I'm so delighted. There are two more on the tree that should ripen within the next week or so, yay!
