Reading, immediately my mind asked, will there be fresh tomatoes
transported across the border next December?
Let’s see, today four vined tomatoes cost me $3.19.
I’m setting up a Suspense File to compare this tomato
shopping data with the situation I find next
December.
Will Stop & Shop offer vine-ripened tomatoes “product of
Mexico”? If not, where will they come
from? It won't matter to me, I'm thinking. However while the state of the Stock Market concerns others, it's the little things I know will make a big difference also.
Cost to the customer of tomatoes and other goods and services?
Will consumers in all neighborhoods have good quality product?
I’m thinking, with USA’s new government coming into power on
January 20, 2017, ordinary folk like me will ease into day-to-day significant change
and emotional disruption. No fear
here. I’ll make it.
Professional media, journalists, news bureaus will keep all
of us praising, lamenting, or ignoring major government engendered changes
affecting our economy, sense of security, civil rights, and politics or
democracy.
I’ll follow up on my tomato query. Next December will they come into New Jersey
from Mexico? If not, where? Would any be homegrown?
I’m thinking, many years ago (perhaps when some folk thought
America was greater than it is today) out of season tomatoes were labeled ‘hothouse’. Mother wanted no hothouse tomatoes. Thus, neither do I. We’ll see.
I’ll let you know.
