@Maddie_Rowley_ I majored in English Lit. I still mainly read classics so always down to talk about anything you've just finished. Was recently enthralled with Dickens' Our Mutual Friend and laughed out loud at rereading Huck Finn (companion read: James, by Percival Everett.)
MD's booth was incredibly lame & disappointing. Michigan, on the other hand, had a model cow that people could practice milking, gave away state-made potato chips and cereal, and had a robot you could fist bump opening a chest with candy for kids. Do better @mdchamber@MIChamber
The story of Tom Brown, the retired engineer that became 'apple hunter', rescuing over 1,000 'lost' varieties in the last 25 years
Retired chemical engineer, he began his quest to find and preserve lost apple varieties around more than 25 years ago.
The man who owns an apple orchard called Heritage Apples in Clemmons, North Carolina, USA has re-discovered over 1000 rare varieties of apples.
His Heritage Apples showcase at least 600 of them. He has been working so that the heirloom apples of Appalachia in the Eastern United States do not disappear with time.
Popularly known as the Apple-Hunter, Tom grows around 60 varieties of apples each year on his farm and sells around 1000 trees. To encourage more preservation, Brown offers to discounts on the purchase of rarer heritage varieties. Trees from Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and a few other places have found their forever homes in his orchard.

Stunning piece @LaurenWeberHP
This is one of the most jaw-dropping, chilling interviews I have seen. Watch this Rabbi from London, respond to question about the terror stabbing in Golders Green!
George W. Bush on his relationship with @MichelleObama and the viral Altoids incident.
“I slipped her an Altoids — not as a joke — but I thought she might want one. I got in the car afterwards, and she said ‘you’re trending.’ I didn’t know what she meant. And it turns out the country is starved to see a center-right republican and an African American center-left democrat having fun and being able to converse, not as political figures, but as citizens.”
