PNW soul food.  LOL

Huckleberries are nature's equivalent of Oakland:  'There's no there
there'.  They're the hyperspeed analog of Chinese food - pop a handful
in your mouth and .00001 seconds later you'll be wondering if you
dropped them all en route.

And here's my take on Snickers bars:

My primary consideration isn’t what they are, but where they are:  I find
the best Snickers are the highest and most remote.  The further they are from
scrounging people and the closer they are to scrounging bears the better
they taste.  The same Snickers tastes much better to me when eaten on a high
pass amid scenic grandeur than if it were eaten on some nondescript
low-altitude hillside.

Your results may vary – poor, pitiful you….

I'll be wearing my 'Huckleberries Suck'  T-shirt when I finish up WA
this summer.
