If given the option, I’ll always take the Green Olives over the other ones. But they are all good! That’s a great opening line when meeting someone new. I meet a lot of new people on the Radio each day and on the (mostly) daily walks around the block for fresh air. I’ll open the APP and listen in while checking out the neighborhood and sometimes see others questing the same Oxygen refreshment. I’ve been hoofing around often enough that they recognize me and think “That’s the weirdo who talks about Olives”. Sometimes I’ll lead off with “Did you know it takes 5 pounds of Grapes to make One pound of Raisins?” But that’s a story for another time.
