You’ll recall that just a couple days prior to Thanksgiving “unnamed intelligence sources” indicated a potential terror threat to the New York – Long Island train system – reinvigorating the fear factor in all Americans just in time for the Macy’s Day Parade.

Then – Miraculously – a reminder of those evil terrorist’s ability to pull off well orchestrated attacks surfaced not 36 hours later, in Mumbai, India. I said at the time that the source of the prior New York Warning (the CIA – ISI – MI6 – Mossad) and those who carried out the attacks in India were one and the same. It was all done purposefully.

It was NOT “Al Qaeda.”

Mine came from an orchard down outside of Ypsilanti. I think they’ve added Spies in the last several years–I had worried I wouldn’t be able to find them at the Farmers, but was wrong.

This is one of the beautiful things about apples: Northern Spy Apples are apparently regional to the NE, with a distribution extending as far as the Detroit area, and maybe not much further. Many great varieties of apple are only available locally, and you have to know about them. Its just varieties like the “Macintosh” that get a national distribution. A Northern Spy Apple grown outside of its primary area might well yield fruit, but maybe not as good as what EW describes.

Although when door knocking this year I discovered a house which has a chestnut tree in the front yard, and the homeowners obviously had no idea what it was, what with all the nuts lying all over the yard, sidewalk and street…if I’m really bored next fall, I may stop by and ask if I can harvest some. Seems such a colossal waste.
