i've heard it's another country out they-ah

I just got back from the grocery store. I mostly went to buy produce, and at this time of year, it's a little hard to resist the asparagus. It's actually been good lately, even though it's not from around he-ah, as we say in New England.

Today, there was a big sign touting the imported asparagus. Whee -- Holland? Chile? where else do they grow it? I looked at the bundles, and there, in familiar blue and gold (like the license plates) was the place of origin -- California-grown.

Hoo boy. I wonder if I'll need my passport next time I head to the left coast?
