   Yes, my in-laws had a couple of trees in San Bernardino, also orange. But not all cultivars turn orange. But it’s different in Florida:

   “Florida’s Navel oranges are sweet and juicy enough to harvest in October. But the cold nights they need to degreen usually don’t arrive until mid-December. The only solution is to pick the green fruit and degreen it artificially at processing plants before shipping it to market.”

   True. But I can always hope. I’ll admit that when I reread a book, sometimes I hope the ending is changed, too.

   And on mine it’s labeled “Enter”. Granted, mine’s an aftermarket mechanical keyboard, not an Apple original. But my iPhone and iPad virtual keyboards do have “return”.

    Oh, I think that they deserve each other.
