actually, the question was well put.
i have no answer as i only know a
little about apples indirectly from
readings here or there.


You had 82F? Oh, I am so jealous.


only for the one day and now i have
forgotten what it feels like. the
last few days have been rainy, windy
and cold with some snow.

we needed the rain, but the wind
has been tough.


Rain tomorrow.


i just hope for no snow or ice.

The two inches of snow yesterday did not last long. Freezing rain this
morning.
Yep, April snow showers brings May flowers


Thanks, for sharing. It gave me a shiver down my spine.
We had 70F temps for a couple of days, then it went back to the 50Fs.
Night time temps are finally up in the 40Fs where they'll be for most of
the season. We had sprinkles yesterday, and it's supposed to be the same
tomorrow. At present it is in the mid 60Fs with broken clouds.

Dept. of Defense budget: $663.8 billion
Dept. of Health and Human Services budget: $78.4 billion


Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, 16 April 1953
