Honey crisp, mutsu, macoun.
Apple names are so interesting. The fruit is pretty nice too.

Must stop avoiding cooking, also laundry.

Congrats to the friend who just certified as an EMT!

Does a maggle of moose contain meese? I see you have a lot of time on your hands. ;)

The time isn't on my hands; I make sure to wash them on a regular basis (she types primly).

And a maggle of moose definitely doesn't include meese, a plurality of mouse; the meese would get trampled :-).

A New York friend of mine went to college at Michigan. He managed to persuade a number of people there that they were pronouncing Michiganer incorrectly, and got them to call themselves mish-ig'-anner. When they found out what that means in yiddish, they held himn down and shaved his head. (He thought it was defintely worth it.)
