I'm curious: If you go to a supermarket - not a boutique food store, but a
supermarket which targets walkin'-around slobs like everyone:

1) How many apple varieties are available *****NOW*****, not in July or
January, but *****NOW*****, late October.

2) Where are those apples from, if you happen to know?

3) Where are you from? I don't mean your street address. I mean you state
and/or province, and what country.
