Dear Humans,

Life is exactly like an avocado. It’s neither all the time good nor all the time bad; it just depends on the timing.

I’ve had incredible avocados–perfectly ripe; all green, no bruises; easily mashed into fluffy goodness by the tines of a fork. And I’ve had terrible avocados–full of brown spots; stringy; a flavor resembling the inside of an oil worker’s boot.

And the difference between a good avocado and a bad avocado is a day or two on the counter.

Also, like life, an avocado isn’t anything without a little lime and salt.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
