Ärende: sour grapes?

I would think that would be the norm. The New Grapes for the Ice Wine are 
probably a bit more hearty and tolerant to frost and cold.

Hehehheh, a terabyte may be nice for starters.

Once worked at Birds Eye, and I was impressed with their efforts. In the 
Summer the goal was to get the corn picked, sorted and processed and frozen 
within 1 hour of picking. This kept the corn very sweet and good. One good 
perk You had while working at that job ( this was packaging of those little 
ears ) On lunch or break You could walk over and grab an ear or two right out 
of the boiler. It was so hot and sweet. You really did not need butter. But a 
little Butter salt and You had it made.. After the corn was cooked in the 
processing. It was flash frozen in less than 10 minutes, then sent off to the 
store. I was very impressed with the quickness of the whole thing in order to 
preserve the best taste of the Corn. Don't know if it is so with the rest of 
the veggies they did.

I with You! Great time of year for veggies!

Yeah, thats how I remember it too. Nice little store out front with the dairy 
process in the back. I believe also there were several stores/dairies, But 
Avon became the central and I believe last to survive until the end. Sad.. I 
am surprised. The area is rich in Dairy farms, but I guess even they are not 
doing to well these days, at least here in NY.

 > Ever go thru Houghton? I went to college there.

Yes, such a beautiful area. I love that part of the state.

Then the Memories are not as fond then :)

Cattaruagus County is my Favorite. Olean has changed a lot since good ol 
walmart moved in. I can see how some of these small towns across the country 
complain about walmart. Since coming in, they definitly changed the 
complexion of that town. Probably for the good though, for the people who 
live there and go to College there.

 > Next spring?

heheheh, we'll see.. ;-)

Have a good One!
Mike
