My grand's second fridge was sorta like that. The freezer was wide enough
for two ice trays though. It was about twn inches by ten inches and was
the "business end" of the refrigerator. And was NOT self defrosting.
We've come a long way since then. Thanks be to the engineers ... and
Betty White. Bv)=

Drivers seem more interested in their phones than in traffic around them.
I'm surprised there are so few car-bike accidents - especially as many
cyclists INSIST on riding on the wrong side of the road - facing traffic.
In my state the law is bicicles go with the traffic and pedestrians walk
facing the oncoming juggernauts.

Late news - Burpee offers some thornless blackberry bushes that will
fit in front of the fence dividing my front and side yard areas. Still
nothing positive on the srrawberries.
I made this for my friends Les & Sara uning bought (Crate & Barrel)
berries and ALDI's Deutsche Kuche noodles. Sara (who is very strictly
Kosher) asked if if I was sure I was Jewish. Bv)=
