Persimmons

Persimmons pack a mean punch, man! They provide vitamins C, A, & B3, as well as minerals like iron, calcium, and phosphorus. Persimmons also offer protein, healthy sugars, mass dietary fiber, and a vibrant orange color. The more colors you eat the better, so enjoy some persimmons fresh or dried. The dried persimmons are covered in sulfites for preservation, so just rinse it off with warm water and you’ve got a healthy snack that provides 12 grams of protein; 23% of your required daily intake from just one whole dried persimmon!­­

Still Existing Volume 1 Issue 1

A ring-billed gull bombarded my bay windows, blocking my westward view of Twin Peaks, squawking like Twisted Sister, shrieking for attention to lessened it’s load; a message tied to her ankle as if she just flew in from carrier pigeon training 3000 years ago, released by the Persians and Egyptians themselves. As I went for the window the bird’s energy combined with my momentum forced the window to jolt back, sucking the bird into the room like Starship Enterprise’s unforeseen voyage through a black hole. She flew straight to my extended arm, perched and lifted her leg as I untied the string that had been so carefully wrapped around the message tube. As soon as she knew her mission was successful, she was off, and I watched her fly into the sunset as I held the cylinder that contained a leaflet of papers; the Floridian zine, Still Existing: Volume 1 Issue 1.

Vernal Equinox

The earth’s axis has once again tilted, allowing the northern hemisphere to be closer to the sun, hence the vernal or spring equinox; March 21, 2010. Spring is here! And with spring comes 12 hour days and universal growth. Praises to the sun for rejuvenating the masses!
