God, that apple-knocker Daniel Gross is such a whiner. They’re not just peddling apples, it’s apple flavored entertainment. And I bet some people really enjoy it. The cost are a bit high because it’s not cheap to put on the show. If he went to an ordinary orchard he’d complain about the facilities, the presentation, and the fact that almost none of them speak English. He could learn to enjoy himself more wherever he goes. Maybe he doesn’t know how to write that way.
