rank | Tue Jun 30 07:52:42 Ive been picking ripe blackberries since early June this year, here in Provence, France. I've never seen that before in my entire life. Thats an autumn/late summer berry. Thats like 6 - 8 weeks out of season. Thanks conservatives for bringing us to the brink of both WWIII and climate extinction simultaneously. |

You were probably in one of your mental modes and confused a strawberry with a blackberry. Possibly dreamed it. |
