So yesterday on the air, I mentioned how it was National Apple Day. Last weekend, we visited the apple orchard for the first time this season. I was faced with the dilemma of choosing Honeycrisp or SweeTango. Both are equally delicious, but the Honeycrisp lives up to its name, super crunchy and very sweet! I did seem to remember the SweeTango apple as being more firm and crunchy than it was this past weekend. I mentioned that to my wife and she said she couldn’t really tell the difference. 🤷🏼♂️
So I asked you, what is your favorite type of apple? By and large, it seems that (here in the upper Midwest) we really love our Honeycrisp. One thing is for sure, those hard-working scientists at the University of Minnesota sure know what they’re doing! After all, they created pretty much all of the top apple varieties. I’d love to ask those scientists what their favorite apple is. I suppose it’s like asking a parent which child is their favorite!

Napster!?
Napster. Just the thought of that word brings back memories of 1999. Illegal music downloads. It was the KING of illegal downloads back in the day. After being shutdown, it spawned an entire army of wannabe “programs” (apps only existed as the snack you ate, before you actually ate) that mimicked its style and functionality. […]

Memories, thanks to Google Maps?
This morning I had a little extra time on my hands (which doesn’t happen very often) and I decided to look on Google Maps, at some street views of my old neighborhood in Minnesota. I remember when Street View first became a thing, people got nervous because they thought it would be an invasion of […]
