That picture reminds me of my uncle. He was a truck driver when I was a kid of about 7 and every time he made a trip out of Florida he would stop at our house and leave us a bag of Florida oranges. Us kids loved it.(BTW, I was seven, 70 years ago, ahem.)

'Citrus Greening' (another Chinese virus from over 20 years ago) has badly impacted the industry here in Florida; combined with nonstop development. I remember back in the 60s and 70s a drive along I-4 to Orlando was mile after mile of the sweet fragrance of orange trees in bloom.

Today, it's all damp cement and the smell of burning fuel. Progress, it's called.
