Hmmm.... I knew California seceded but was Texas EVER a part?
Anyway, I won't say were 'here' is, but 'here' some less than honest
vendors inject water into their watermelons to make them heavier. The
local watermelons are slightly smaller than a basketball and just as
round, but taste sweet. But I won't buy them from streetside vendors,
only larger markets. The water used to inject them often comes from the
rice paddies and is not exactly pure.... Actually, the water that comes
from our taps is often not even as pure as the water in the rice
paddies. I have to clean the filters from the washing machine and the
water heater EVERY DAY because of mud build-up!
