Prickly “Nair” Pear
Apache Junction, Arizona.

Apache Junction KOA Campground. Remove a cactus’ needles. Make a comfy seat.
That raises an interesting question. When you remove your cat’s claws, it is declawed. Does anyone know what to call it when you remove all the needles from a cactus?
The only thing I can come up… A Prickly “Nair” Pear? Seems to sum it up for a prickly pear, but what about any and all other cacti? How best to describe the resulting “needle-less” state of being?
I suppose it would be de-needled, but I say De-Lovely! That’s only if you have to get close…..esthetically, I like them with the needles.
