Congratulations. I see a wide variety of colors on various web pages. My bianchi is their 'famous'
celeste green - celedon almost.Most delicious apples are almost tasteless pulp.
Prairie Roots said:I share your opinion of the not-very-delicious Delicious apple. In my opinion, the same psychology
was used in naming this apple as was used in naming Greenland and Iceland. They're the opposite of
what their names imply.My bike was purchased at a small, family owned bike shop. Dad owns the store, his young teenage
son sold me the bike and accessories. I'd have gone to a chain if necessary, but so much more
satisfactory transacting with a small business.Fred said:Very good - PRO/CON. Very imaginative.
Frankly, there are no Washington DELICIOUS apples (boy, am I risking being sued). I have never
been fond of that particular variety. No, hedges, altho, I do have apple, cherry and plum trees
in the rear yard.Enjoy the bike. I have not been to any shops in years where they discount for checks or inflate
for credit cards. I use to like that practice.On Sat, 28 Feb 2004 15:41:42 -0600, Prairie Roots <[email hidden]> wrote:
