GOING BANANAS
YEP! Going bananas over the different kinds available in Hawaii right now. Alright, you already know about the long, chalky-tasting Cavendish available in most grocery stores. But in Hawaii, right now, there’s plantains, baby-finger bananas, apple-bananas, ice cream bananas and more. My favorite (I’ve tried them all): those short, stocky but oh-so-sweet apple-bananas grown right here in Hawaii! Where to get them? In some “local” grocery stores, but the best tasting are ones purchased on the Northshore of Oahu Island at a growers’ fruit stand. And pick up some papayas, mangoes, lilikois, pineapples (the Maui “Gold” ones are my favorite), and, if you can find them, some “wild” tropical apples (look like crab apples but are sweet, sweet, sweet and juicy).
What’s this have to do with my newly released, Amazon genre bestseller Sci-Fu novel, THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor? Check out this excerpt:
“Encouraged by their government, NewAmericans slowly began to re-define what recreation meant. It soon became ‘in’ to take one hour or even one or more days off work to tour formerly ravaged byways, officially renaming in the vernacular the animals and plants they noted while walking or Bwheeling.
“Namingtheanimalsandplantsafterthemselves…?
“The idea was to inspire feelings of environmental stewardship through government established and funded official Naming Ceremonies—N-Cares—whereby human caretakers and the animal or plant names of their now ‘cultivated natural’ darlings would be publicly announced, ceremoniously celebrated, then recorded digitally in ever-expanding governmental N-Cares information vaults called I-Cares.
“The honor caught on and the practical result was immediate: I-Cares, in essence governmental genetic diversity repositories, sprang up everywhere, and awardees gladly paid for public recognition, contractually committing themselves to husbanding the animals or plants which they had name-recognized for the duration of the human’s life. As a further honorific, caretakers were permitted to wear a light blue colored armband. At the same time, the government inserted a tiny, inert, bioluminescent DNA tag into the now protected entity, identifying it as under the care and protection of the government by way of that particular human caretaker.
“This program singularly changed the surface of NewAmerica into one citizen-tended, cultivated-natural paradise.”
What makes TEOM so special is that every advancement described is simply an extension of current technology and science, making it wholly PLAUSIBLE. It’s that very plausibility that makes TEOM a “natural” feeling read.
Go buy some bananas — future bananas, named, stewarded and tagged by, who knows, maybe your domestic partner, child, or neighbor, or maybe even the president of NewAmerica! And if you can’t find what you’re looking for in your local grocery, try looking on Amazon for a great read like THE EDGE OF MADNESS in printed, digital or audio book format to satisfy your reading hunger.
