Dearth of Caffiene Free Diet Pepsi

Throughout the region it is getting harder and harder to fine caffeine free diet coke or Pepsi.

This meets the requirement of a virgin coke.No sugar to caffeine nor worries. I think that coke is trying to move us to coke zero. The recipe is very different. It seems more syrupy. The soda companies are always good for a conspiracy theory.

The white peaches are starting to get ripe. I had one today that had no green on it at all. The variety that we have is called sugar lady. It is very sweet and has little acid in it. The texture is good. The pit is very red, but the flesh is very white. The skin is very much like a yellow peach. The literature on the web says that it is beginning to show up at fruit stands. It is a great peach and a little different from the traditional white peach, the Babcock.

The pee wee peach closest to the sidewalk is also ripe. We still have some Bonanza peaches and a few apricots are hanging on the tree in the backyard. The 6 in one pluot is almost ready for the next variety. It is a yellow pluot with a tinge of red. So we are swimming in peach juice these days.

The pur filter on the refrig is starting to show red. Sears has them for sale at 56 dollars a pop. It sure keeps the chlorine out of the ice cubes.

My walk at 7:40 this morning with a outside temp at 78. We are headed for a forecasted 109 today.. wow. I am sure glad we have a functional air conditioner.

Have a great day. Pat
