Jim you are a riot.  And I must admit apricots are exactly my favorites either.

I have a chipmunk story, too. When I was about seven, my parents took 
us to Grand Canyon for easter vacation. Nearly froze our southern 
California bejubbies off. One moment while there, I grabbed a chipmunk 
and, of course, it bit me. I didn't tell my parents what I'd done, but 
you can bet I was ne plus certain I would die of rabies before we got 
back to a warmer clime.

And shame on you, Theresa. Apricots are one of the ten best fruits in 
the whole wide world.
