TIPS FOR STORING
APPLES:

The smaller the apple and thicker the
skin, the longer it will store.

Gettysburg Address, 1863

Handle apples like eggs. One bruised
apple will eventually spoil others
around it.

N.C. ratifies U.S. Constitution, 1789

Asheville, NC's Biltmore Estate begins its celebation of
Christmas in November.

Thanksgiving Day
Writer C.S. Lewis born, 1898
Lucille Ball m. Desi Arnaz, 1940

Keep apples by themselves in the
crisper drawer and turn your fridge
down.

OLD SAWS

This pesky weather is;
It blew and snew and then
it thew,
And now, by jing, it frizz.
~ Philander Johnson
A star behind a crescent
moon means rain or snow.
A star in front of or in the
crescent moon means fair
weather.
Moonlit nights have the
heaviest frosts.
If on trees the leaves still
hold, the coming winter
will be cold.

REGIONAL NOTES Once a thriving coal town, Thurmond, WV, is
now home to only about five people making it, in essence, a ghost town.
The Park Service owns most of the abandoned buildings and visitors are
welcome. There's also an easy two-mile trail to an overlook above the
town. 37.9615° N 81.023° W

Are apples as healthy as they
say? Probably. I never heard one
complain.

Some politicians spend part of their
time running for office and the rest
running for cover.

The odds of your bread falling butter
side down are directly proportional to
the value of your carpet.

FACTOIDS

To break up a cold, roast a lemon, fill
with sugar and eat hot before bed.
If your hands are stained, rub them
with a slice of lemon or wet potato.
