I didn't plant any tomatoes this year --

But the local Farmers Market has wonderful tomatoes grown by our local farmers and there's a good honor-system stand just down the road.

I have tomato sandwiches on sourdough, but usually add a leaf or two of Romaine, a slice of turkey, maybe a slice of cheese, some thinly sliced cucumber (for crunch), maybe some sweet relish, maybe some horseradish mustard, a bit of mayo, some avocado, some shredded carrots, sprouts, and whatever else is ripe and handy. It's always an adventure to try different ingredients, but they are all great because of the ripe tomato.

"there's a good honor-system stand just down the road."

I used to keep my sailboat in a marina south of Annapolis. One weekend I invited a friend from north Jersey to come for a sail.
As we were loading the cooler for the trip we went to the ship's store where they had 2 large, self serve ice freezers and a drop box for the couple of bucks the bags sold for. He was shocked! He said in Jersey the money would be gone, along with the ice and there would be homeless people living in the ice lockers who would yell at you for disturbing them. Glad to know there is still somewhere that integrity matters.
