They're good but they have to be completely ripe or they'll turn your mouth inside outwards. My dad use to use persimmon wood along with apple and oak to smoke pork hams, shoulders and sausage meat in the smokehouse. Good stuff!

We still give candy out, I usually do the handing out. A few years ago some kids came by and I looked out and one boy was as big as me. I said, ain't you too old for candy. He scrouched down and said I'm twelve. I said wait a minute, I got something for you. I went and got him a potato. Got the...
