you should...then you could trade gars for persimmons `cause i tell you the truth, it's like rhubarb--us southerners do not have it, just like okra is hard for you yanks to come by. and out here in japan, i get BOTH (no rhubarb, though).
i am now inspired to come out and visit 'dup! i love that rhubarb pie...or better yet STRAWBERRY RHUBARB! can i get an amen?
