apples

Nothing says it's the dog days of summer like getting to play with apples. My new favourite thing is to take apples off the tree and huck them against walls and fences. Apples explode so much better and faster than sticks. If you throw a stick, then you have to run after it, fetch it, shake it around for a while, and after all that is done, you get to tear it apart. It's a long, drawn out ritual. With an apple, you can just swing your head, let it fly out of your mouth, and SMACK! It hits something and explodes. So far, I've only got to try this with apples from trees. I keep trying to take the apples from the sidewalk bins in front of stores, but everyone I know thwarts me in this experiment.
