CM Magazine.com has received word from Prof. Jeff's Scott that his old Toyota Pickup has made it over Wheeler Hill - as everybody along the way heard - through the fogs of Flat Woods, all the way to the Farmer's Market at 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY with a nice load of Jonathan and Goldrush Apples.

Jonathan's are the favorite apple of Randall Pyles. Coincidentally, Mr. Pyles' love of Jonathans is very similar to Steve Jobs' love of Macintosh's, which Cousin Bob Chelf, of Knifley, Green County, and Jamestown Hill early fame related to me. He said that the biography he just finished told about Jobs' eating only apples for a long period in his life - hence the "Apple" computer, and the "Mac"intosh.


Mr. Pyles usually buys only 4 bushels

Mr. Pyles had, in the past, bought only 4 bushels (or halves, I don't remember which Jeff Scott told; but this story is the God's truth, Asa knows it and Acer knows it) of the McIntosh's.

Just coincidentally, Pyles Concrete has a subsidiary which manufacture's storm - we like to call them "bomb" shelters - and Professor Scott says that Randall Pyles, a bit frugal man, found that MacIntoshes keep really well in the shelters. (Again, this is third handed, but important, so check the facts with Mr. Scott.) That's why, Professor Scott believes, the stash was upped this year.

Squeezings continue

He again related a need to sell this load of apples and get back early to Antioch to get ready for the next Apple Squeezing. Making "Amber Gold," he calls it.

It was quick math, so don't hold us to it, but oil drillers may be in the wrong business. Gradyville Prime Crude only sells for around $100/bbl., on a good day. But Jeff Scott figures that Antioch Prime MacIntosh Cider would bring around $900/bbl. So there.

This week, the Big Squeezing will be of a Wednesday. He's never sure if all the usual suspects will be on hand, but generally he can relay on stalwarts like Robin Birson from Metcalfe County, and neighbors and recent born again Adair County move-ins Earl Hartman and and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. In the meantime, he says, please come on down and visit a spell.
