Perfect. The Alaska State Fair is next week. A must see are the gigantic vegetables on display! The very long, extended summer hours when the sun stays out much longer than it does in the lower 49 makes for mutant veggies. Produce is exposed to the nurturing sunlight exponentially longer and as a result, can grow exponentially larger.

BAWAHAHAHA! Pikers! Bring on the sun!

For example, here is a list of state vegetable records set in last year's Alaska State Fair:

23-foot, 3 1/2-inch corn stalk
4.702-pound parsnip
1,019-pound pumpkin
17.195-pound yellow zucchini
67 1/8-inch long gourd
55.15-pound blue hubbard squash
21.530-pound bushel gourd

So you really did find your daughter in the cabbage patch! I thought my mom was kidding.

Really cute.
