I grabbed a huge banana off a nearby plant a couple of days ago, thinking
it was ripe because it was yellowish-brown, with more yellow than brown,
but couldn't even peel it.  I found out later on it wasn't ripe yet.  Seems
that process was stunted temporarily by the recent cold fronts we had come
through here the past couple of weeks.

Nothing like that around here.
