The So. Cal. fires have impacted the avocado crop:

That picture looks so sad. I know it's nothing close to a person

losing their home, but still.

I read about the avacodos this morning. And it's sad, but first thing went through my mind, was about how high the prices are gonna rise on them.

You'll think that the next time you order guacamole at your favorite Mexican restraunt.

I think we might buy some of this:

We've had it before, it's very good, and I think you can freeze

it...

Oh I've eaten that. It is really good. I buy it when I'm to lazy to make homemade guacamole. :wah:

Avocados are on special here right now, and I bought three for $2 in the weekend. I'll eat them respectfully.

Depends on how much of those fields got burned, I wouldn't think too

much...

Usually when those go up it's beacuse we've had hard freezes...

A moment of silence please for the Avocados. I am upset by this because I can't say no to an avocado. I revere them. Plain out of shell sprinkled with salt. Perfect food.

I'd be surprised if the San Diego fires affect the shop price. One in five US-consumed avocados is home-grown, the rest come from Mexico. I think. I may be wrong. Someone tell me if I am.
