$100! I can't afford it but I know it'll fall within the hour and all us clowns can sit back and watch the real show begin. Let's take bets how long this bid will be high. I say 25 minutes, although it could be 25 seconds. :)

It has a rich fig taste. It looks great. The more sun it gets and the riper it gets, the less visible the stripes may get. Just how sometimes the Panache get more on the yellow side. But over all the stripes are there and still unique. The pulp is dark red.martinencarimada4.JPG
