I so often lament the seedless watermelons available at the grocery. Have we really become so lazy that we can’t even extricate some seeds to enjoy one of summer’s most iconic, refreshing treats? And also, how on earth can one even expect to challenge a worthy opponent to a watermelon seed spitting contest with those anemic, flabby wanna-be-not-even-seeds? Rush Springs may need to go on the travel destination list for next year!

Exactly! And you can't even call those flabby white things seeds! Rush Springs watermelons really are something--I forgot to mention they have a contest to see which local farmer grew the biggest--160 pounds got the medal when I was there. And please check out the root beer lady if she's around. Despite being mean as hell, she's a national treasure for sticking with the original recipe!
