Okay, I remembered to look when I went shopping at my usual
supermarket. I was suprised to find Fuji, Gala, Winesap, Rome,
Grannies, Red and Golden Delicious, as well as Macs. More
varieties than I would have expected.

I went to a different store, one I would have expected to have
many more, they had all those except Winesap or Rome, also
Honey Crisp and Cortlands.

No, I didn't make it to Wegman's this week, didn't work out.
Next week.
