OT?: heavy weather near the Runrev office

[Andre Garzia]

Richmond,

This is Pitanga: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surinam_Cherry (Surinam
Cherry, how do you foreigners come with those silly names!?)

This is Acerola: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acerola (Barbaros Cherry?!!??!
Why must english speaking people always name fruits like something-cherry or
something-apple?!)

By the way a tiny Acerola contains 32 times the Vitamin C of a single
orange...

I used to have both trees in my garden, next to the pool, so the fruits
would fall on water and not get damaged, also the chloride in the pool (is
this how you call it?) would really clean them...

:D
