Holy shit, I miss (fresh, unpasteurized) apple cider like whoa. (adds that to the list of stuff in New England I miss along with New England beer and Vermont maple syrup.) But this one's probably the hardest, because there is no decent substitution/approximation.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Doh, ita, I misread the question. Where?
It was in the high foothills of the San Gabriel mountains. North of Beaumont, east of San Bernadino. Shockingly we only had to be on two freeways to get there (it can take 4 freeways to get to our house from Burbank, even though it's 13 miles away). We had to go pretty far into the mountains to find cold enough places to grow apples.
The area is called Oak Glen -- right by Yucaipa.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We went there once when we were still in SoCal. Loved it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I wanna go pick apples and have fresh apple cider.
In other food news, I think I found what I'm taking to brunch tomorrow - [link] Let's hope I have the appetite to at least try them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Now I want to go to an apple orchard too, even though the drive is a bit further for me.
I hope your system lets you eat tomorrow, smonster.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've been catching up on this week's TV, and I have a question.
Has anyone found a reason to care about the future Fringe?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Are you all Valentine's babies? good gravy. and one of my cousins too.
I think it's January, if you take the whole 40 weeks thing. Which is cold and boring.

Lee,
I'm rolling with it, so I can't answer that. I care about Peter and Olivia's relationship. And Walter and Astrid.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I care about Peter and Olivia's relationship.
I used to, but the whole choosing the other Olivia's life thing pissed me off last season, and the portion of this week's show that dealt with Olivia's guilt about her feelings after they lost their daughter and Peter's reaction didn't help much.
I should maybe just quit it, but I still have hope.
