What we really need is someothing like the old pneumatique in Paris, a
network of pneumatic tubes through which one could send letters (called
"bleus" parce-que they were bleu) that would be whooshed from place to place

some badly bruised peaches, but most supermarket peaches are either made of
bakelite or bruised already.
