Took the Sportwagon in and again they said everyone likes the wagon. If that was true, then why didn't people buy them? Maybe the service writer was just buttering me up.

I never really liked apples, but recently I've been eating more and I think I'm coming around. Braeburn's from New Zealand are my favorite so far.
When I bought my wagon, the finance guy said he wanted to buy it and would have done so if he was closer to retiring. But he didn't because I bought it and he wasn't so close to retiring.
I'm also starting to appreciate BBQ more and more.

Argh. I let my Bhut Jolokia plant die this winter. The peppers were getting less and less hot and I sort of kept it outside too far into the chill and 
. I sort of regret it but I might try to get my hands on a Carolina Reaper this year.
I just started a single pot with about 50 random seeds and a whole bunch of them started sprouting. So I'm in for a crap-shoot of peppers/hybrids this year. Could be interesting.

^thats how my family started this year.
buying peppers to eat and collecting the seeds to plant.
my brother also tried to buy a seed packet of habenaro seeds that had this coating on it to make it "guarantee" to grow...but the ones from the actual peppers are doing better than the "coated" ones

You should try!
One place I worked had a peach tree that started when an employee finished his peach, dug a little hole with his boot heel, and dropped the stone in. FFWD a few years, and voila, Peach Tree!
But then it got cut down because reasons.

That is totally do-able. I was talking to one of the workers at a local nursery (for plants) and she lives in an apartment but says she has all sorts of trees growing in containers. Like, 5-10 gallon containers and they're content enough to produce fruit. So as long as you pick one suitable to you're climate zone and sun/shade availability, you should be able to do it.

Should you just buy a small tree or try and grow from a baby seed?
I wonder if the date to plant is already passed... hmmm might be something to research while pooping

Seed is a bit more challenging. I like starting things from seeds because it makes me feel like a god. Of course, your lag time to actually getting fruit will be much longer with seed.
A tree is easier. You can pretty much buy one from where ever and drop it in a pot/bucket and call it a day. With a sapling, well, there were some at the nursery that already had little fruits starting so it would just be a matter of feeding and watering it to keep it happy.

I was trying to create a bonsai oak. I was at the park last month and found an acorn that had just sprouted and I carefully extracted it and brought it home to replant.
It was doing okay and was just starting to grow it's third set of leaves. But when I came home last Friday I saw it laying on its side in the pot with the tiny rootball ripped off laying next to it. Nearest I can tell, a little bastard squirrel probably dug it up to eat the tasty, tasty acorn. I am not happy to say the least.
Now I need to start over with adequate anti-squirrel defenses.

back to the Sportwagon (if only for a minute) the dealer got a used red Sportwagon and put it in the showroom, took a look at it and the salesman was pretty excited about it. So maybe they do actually like them. Still it looks like they have 4 of them in stock for awhile.
John Eagle Acura in Houston if you are curious.

im in houston.
and so is cu2wagon.
the thing about dealers is; they are not your friends!
sales people will lie to you to get you to do something they want. and they want commission.
they will do anything to get commission today. (today means every day.)
its more likely that they were trying to "flip" you.
to get you into a brand new vehicle today! so that the sales man/dealer can hit that quota for the day/week/month.
then after they make the brand new sale; they will then try to sell yours in the used market.
unless you are looking and ready to buy; these sales pitches are generally a bad idea. and they are actually fishing! they are fishing to see if any dummies get hooked...bait, line and sinker

But back to the matter at hand- I too am a fan of Honey Crisp apples. They're quite satisfying, I must admit.

I'd be excited to see one too, but I also wouldn't buy one. The only reason for the "excitement" is simply due to the rarity of the car. I maybe see one TSX wagon per year here.
