    These young people live with this EVERYDAY!!  They have developed a strength that we can't imagine, and they go on to greater things because they have to.  If they don't, we don't.  It's not easy being God's Chosen People.  At least, please remember them in your prayers.

    This is just the first wave of hearings from Pennsylvania.  He will still have to deal with the IRS and FBI.

    Past DuBois city council member who resigned after she made a motion to fire the disgraced solicitor and no one else would second her motion. And she is the sister of a Pittsburgh attorney that received a voice mail from our disgraced solicitor asking him to keep his sister under control. She has been the only person in this drawn out saga with this mess that has shown any kind of backbone.

    Pappy got a reaction from Polo in Apple trees   
    As I am driving I see hundreds of Apple trees just standing along the roads at the edge of fields in peoples yards with lots of Apples. I often wonder what kind they are. I am tempted to stop some time with permission of course and try a few out. I am going to have to find out whose they are and try and get permission. It seems such a waste well not a waste at it feeds wildlife but to see all these apples and think hmmm that would make a great Apple dumplin' which btw I am eating right now haha.
    My Apple tree has the most it ever has in the 21 years i have lived here. That total is 5 and they are puny.

    Yes that is what I thought also. I figured some would make great dumplings. Putting them on the grill sounds delicious

    I concur.  They are much like nut-bearing trees.  You have off & on years.  Sure, you'll get a few random fruit/nuts on an off year.  An on year will bear much more, relatively.

    I have (1) large black walnut tree at the corner of my property and 3 or 4 10-15ft younglings.  This year was an on year, last year an off year.  
    My parents'(just mom now) pecan trees in FL are the same way.

    Also, most trees produce lots of fruit every other year, not every year.  If you get a heavy crop one year then the tree will have a very light or non-existent crop the next year.  Of my five, only one produced well this year but the other four dropped all of their apples early in the spring.  They were not able to replace enough carbs in their roots to replace what they expended last year so once they were fertilized, they dropped what they knew they could not finish.

    I'm know I'm a bit late to the party, but most of those apple trees produce an apple that really isn't pleasant to eat straight/raw.   They tend to be tart and hard.  Now, they are good for cooked/baked goods like pies.  Cooking them helps convert some of the matter into sugars to dissipate the tart nature of them.  And with them being firmer than your typical store apple, they tend to hold together instead of turn to mush.

    Lots of those trees were planted to have a supplementary food source(pies), or to make cider/wine from.  ...and to feed livestock.

    You'll be surprised if you bite into one and expect it to be as tasty as a Red Delicious from the grocery store. 

    We still have a couple of those trees on our farm - planted in the early 1900's.   Our oldest tree died about 15-20 years ago that was near the house, so we had to remove it.  It was planted in the second half of the 1800's when the farm was established.  Once every couple years I'll go get some for the old lady to make a desert with.  I like to occasionally cut them in quarters, trim out the centers, then put them on the grill and baste them with honey, brown sugar, and cinnamon.   I'll throw some soaked apple wood chips on the coals to add some smokey flavor to them too.

    I wonder if the news channels will post this information about the hospital explosion.  Yet another Arab hate group spring into action killing their own people and blaming it on the Jews.

    At least we are aware of her "financial interests"--unlike those that are currently in the spotlight.  
    Ms. Jackson will not abuse her authority.  I am 100% confident of that.

    OK Fed Up, check the rest of the story above, pre-Ottoman rule.  The Israelites ruled that country BCE.  There were no Palestinians, just roaming bands of Bedouins who owned nothing and chose to live that way.

    Pappy reacted to gc in Write In Candidates for Sandy Twp and DuBois   
    There are two write in candidates to consider:
    1. Sandy Township Supervisor - Kevin Salanda -  Kevin is running against Dick Whitaker, who was handpicked to be on the consolidation committee by Suplizio and Cherry.
    2. DuBois City Controller - Gregg Gillaugh - Gregg is running against David Volpe, current controller, who was originally appointed by council.
    Both write ins will speak up when something is wrong.

    We definitely need people like these two plus our write ins from the primary in DuBois to take over. It will be nice to have truthful transparency people in office.
