Blackberry

So it's August here and the blackberry brambles are producing their delicious berries. Today on my commute, I saw a lady stopped and parked on a small shoulder. Flat tire? Engine trouble? No she had stopped, and was out of her car on the side of Interstate-5 picking goddamn blackberries. These things are delicious, and do make a fine pie, but don't you know they grow like a weed here? There is anything but a shortage of blackberries, and I'm pretty sure there's no need to slow traffic or risk harm to pick them on the side of a major freeway. I'm just saying.
