This is more a PSA than a post.
So, a few days ago I picked up a bag of Fuji apples from the grocery store, they're the ones that are supposed to taste kinda like a mix between apples and grapes. Fine.
Today, I felt like having an apple and decided that it would be a bad look to cut one up for myself and not for my GF. I fished an apple out of the bag and was astounded at how puny it was. The last time I had an apple like that in my hand, it was from a wild and neglected apple tree - and went directly into the mouth of the horse that lived in the adjacent pasture from where it was growing.
Knowing that size ain't everything, I cut up the first apple, took it to my GF out on the back porch, and returned to the kitchen to cut up mine. She comes in after a minute and says "I think I have COVID -- I can't taste this apple. It just tastes like nothing, like water."
I put a slice in my mouth, chewed, and nothing... it felt like an apple but tasted like nothing, like water with a hint of apple flavor. Disappointing.
So, don't say I didn't warn you about the batch of small, flavorless Fuji apples that are going around. I've learned my lesson, and will be sticking with the Pink Lady cultivar from here on out!
This is the tool I used to divvy up those flavorless apples:
That is all.

Sweet capture of your lamb.
), mark the final location with a stick and you've got a reliable north-south vector as the "river" always flows south. From any point in the everglades; walking south, north, or west won't do much good as there are vast expanses of nothing but swamp -- but, as the majority of Florida's east coast is highly developed, if you head east - you'll eventually hit civilization (or something like it 
).
What a stunning pic though!
