I agree, and perhaps we should make one up. The spot was a strange one…in front of an office building, near a little strip mall with a 7-11, nail salon, restaurants, dry cleaner, and an apartment building. Also a freeway on-ramp/off ramp. Not near any place where someone would buy such a mango. We do sometimes see people sell this kind of mango by the side of the road, and strawberries too, but I’ve never seen them in this part of town. How did it get there? Does the person who dropped it miss it? So many questions.
Nance, it DOES look like a potato, Yukon Gold variety. Maybe the person who left it there thought they were buying a potato, realized it was a mango and abandoned it? Inquiring minds want to know…

Random mango on our morning walk, with Mulder’s nose in the shot to add some art.

That’s funny and seems like there should be a backstory to why it is where it is.
