How would I embroider a tangerine? 

It starts with a teasing question.

Would I first cut it in half and poke through the flesh?

Or, is it like taxidermy: I turn the tangerine — as the mouse — inside-out?

I practice until I can peel the skin off in one piece. I chew it over some more.

Could I laser-cut a guide for the stitches or do I follow its natural pores?

Do I use a blanket stitch?

Unable to sleep, I grab the fruit bowl.

There’s always a roadblock — a missing tool or piece; a workaround.

Wasted fruit.

I return to bed, sticky; waiting for the next puzzle.

Watershed

The City of Ventura is suing property owners in the Ventura River Watershed for their water rights. Summonses were sent to thousands of residents of the Ojai Valley and West Ventura at an enormous cost to tax payers. One has to wonder how many millions of gallons of water have been removed from Lake Casitas for oil and gas extraction.
