And you thought you'd seen the end of me and my melons...

Here ya go, it can be yours for a mere $231, and allows you to wheel your watermelon around with you cooled to an optimum temperature.  Kinda reminds me of the ladies who take their doggies out in strollers~ thanksgod they don't have to walk...  This model is from Japan if you're interested in wheeling your pet watermelon around with you in complete comfort.

Then today I was sittin' on my front stoop (Who does that anymore?) and my upstairs neighbor wheeled up on her bike and she was wearing this:      I am accepting it as Synchronicity so ripped open the laptop to continue my Watermelon Rant~~~

Better than this helmet:

And certainly better than this where the tables are turned and the watermelon is wearing a helmet, not very successfully:

Just in case you've got pageant fever, I found a place where you can apply to be the Watermelon Queen and at the same time apply for the Official Watermelon license plate from North Carolina.

Here's a whole long list of Watermelon Festivals.  Just in case your vacation isn't all planned and scheduled up already.  And here's what you can arrive in:

 There are also more suggestions for recipes like this one:  Serve a slice of melon for breakfast it' delicious and juicy way to start the day.  Try the Watermelon Muffins, I won't.

And now I promise to retire from Watermelon Reporting, and go figure out what to do with a hunk o' halibut I bought for dinner.
