Beats the hell out of the Jerk that hoarded 20,000 units of Hand Sanitizer so he could jack the price up sky high reselling it.
Hey, I see nothing wrong with selling masks in a niche market. Price gouging is a different subject.
This made me smile. Wordless it's not.

There will soon be one of those kiosks in every mall that opens up.
It'll be right next to the guy selling cell phone cases.
I see that spreading like wildfire.

Well not too much with just 10. Down here these things are everywhere. Some people even eat the pads (Nopalitos). They are good and taste like green beans to me. So, once the flower blooms, it will close up and turn green. It looks like a bulb on top of the cactus. When it turns red at the middle and bottom, that's the time to pick them. Wear gloves! It usually takes about 10 to make a pint of jelly! We make it by the quarts!
Probably about 30 years ago the company's produce warehouse sent out a 10# box of Nopalitos (cactus leaves) complete with the needles/spines/owie causers.
No one in the produce department knew what they were or how they were used so I asked a friend and fellow employee who was Hispanic what they were and how to fix them.
My store manager came by, saw the nopalitos and said "Roy, what the hell are these"? Before I could tell him he reached in and grabbed a handful-----------:gaah:Attachment 321844
As he was slowly pulling his hand out of the box I said "Those are cactus leaves Jim" and he said---"Yea, I kind of figured that out already"---and slowly walked away checking out his hand :rofl2::roflmao
:rofl2:................
To get the spines off, just take a kitchen knife and scrap them off. Then you can slice them and cook similar to green beans, but some people tell me that they blanch them in boiling water, then pat them dry and slice them or dice them and then fry them in some oil and top with salsa---
Around here you can find them in jars in the Hispanic section at the grocery stores.
Yeah, that does look like Opuntia engelmannii Although it's a little hard to tell from one photograph. So many of those Optunias look so much alike. In Florida there are I think 10 different species of them unless one or two have gone extinct. there are a few that have been endangered for a long time. They are a favorite food of the gopher tortoise. The common one Opuntia mesacantha (Eastern prickly pear) is everywhere.

It didn't really appreciate being moved to this spot but it has decided to bloom every year now after probably 5 or more years of none at all

Tomato seed sprouting inside itself. My buddy Ski had two that he said had been on the counter for weeks, they were red but stayed hard, finally he cut one and found what looked like worms inside but were the sprouted seeds. The picture I posted was found online but I was at Ski's today to pick up a package and get my ass handed to me shooting pool and the other one had about 3-4 plants coming out of itself and bumps were more were ready to poke through.
I'd heard of it but had never seen it.
Something that I found interesting was that the plants inside the tomato were pretty hard.
A horny mater....:roflmao
Well a 'Wiggly' problem to be sure----
