Maybe I just watched too much <em>Star Trek</em> when I was younger, but the science stuck. I wish they would come up with a new word as most things on the planet are actually organic–carbon based.

I meant "organic" as in grown without pesticide or fertilized. What exactly would a “nonorganic” persimmon be?

At least you were in the right place at the right time to score a few. I have a feeling that the man probably sells all that fruit and has a map of where every persimmon tree in town is located. As someone who grew up on a cotton farm, I nearly wrecked my new bicycle today as I drove by a 4 acre field of cotton right here in town near hanbat stadium (next to the railroad tracks). I wonder how they will pick it as cotton pickers are rather large and I have yet to see one in South Korea. My boss said it is a government experiment of some sort or other. The bolls should be totally open in a couple of weeks, so I hope I can catch them in the act of harvesting it. I have a feeling that it will be done by hand.
