i don't buy watermelon

this is a suika. we call it a watermelon in english.

i took this photo with my cell phone while i was at the store earlier today.

that number, 2980, is the price of the watermelon in my local grocery store.

2980 yen.

right now, 2980 japanese yen are worth 29 US dollars.

$29!

I love watermelon, but I don't love it for 29 dollars.

I don't even think I'd love it for 10 dollars.

Guess I'll keep eating bananas.

the plants are dying. don't know what to do.

thought this would be easy:

i provide water & sunlight,
the plants photosynthesize.

we are happy. nothing dies.

must be dreaming.

all things die.
