I brought back from CA here to Illinois some 7/8 diameter palm tree
seeds,
like miniature cocoanuts. They had fallen from the seed pod clusters
on the tree
and were laying on the ground/sidewalk. When I lived in FL, we would
let the cocoanuts dry out before planting them. Should I do the same
thing with these miniature-sized palm tree seeds, or can I just plant
them now?

Why ask here? Google is your friend. When presented with the words 'plant
palm seeds' it obliged with more information that I cared to wade though
but the first answer is probably close enough and probably better than
anything you will get here.

I wanted a plain English response, not one that requires a Phd in
biology.

You were given good advice, but chose not to take it. Most people DO
try researching on-line first before they post to a NG. It doesn't
take a PhD to input search terms and evaluate the results.

Also, you may not know that California is as large as some countries,
and varies enormously in macro- and micro-climates. Advice for San
Diego would not work in Arcata or near Death Valley.

I wanted a simple answer to a simple question. I said I was in
Illinois and needed to know if I should dry the seeds out or plant
them right away. If you went to the web site cited, it was long, too
detailed, and did not really answer my original question. Rather than
get a treatise on palm trees, I was looking for a quick and dirty
answer. Since I was in CA only 2 weeks ago when I got the seeds, I
certainly am aware of the geological and biological diversity of the
state, but that hs nothing to do with my question.

Do you see many palm trees in Illinois?

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And it¹s not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. That¹s hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they don¹t get away with no taxation.

Yes, if I go to the Chicago Botanical Gardens. I just asked if I
should dry the seeds out first before planting them. I didn't say I
was going to plant them outdooors or indoors.

I didn't tell you where to plant your palm seeds.
For that kind of information, I told you where to go.
If you want a second opinion about where to go,
I'd suggest the Chicago Botanical Gardens.
Now that you know where to go, I'm sure you know what you can do,
phone them.
They will all tell you the same thing, "yes".
