[nafex] Vanilla in an apple
Last year I had my first Macoun apples, from Feil Pioneer Fruit Stand in E. Wenatchee, WA. The vanilla was aroma was an unexpected bonus. Don't know if it generally happens across the country. I hope to get some (ought to be ripe now in these parts) locally soon and find out.

Perfect. This is one of the main reasons ibiblio's mailing list host has
been so useful to so many for so long, dating back to
slow Internet access using VT100 with ascii text interface, no GUI. The
mirror sites for access to backup message archives
and different ways of viewing them, i.e. formatting and inline display of
attached/included images w/wo thumbnails load fast also; Google excells at
this.
The email-delivered discussion forums that use unformatted ascii text for
the most part are fast to load, send and are low file size except for
bandwidth required for file attachments.

Re: [nafex] NAFEX on Facebook
Facebook. Several reasons for that including security and privacy. And
bandwidth needed for content with high graphic content.
The Facebook page must be very active since this list seems pretty active,
plus there are many more "lurkers" like me that pick up a great deal of
information.
The list allows me to reasonably get information on slower sources. There
are quite a few of us in rural areas that have no DSL or cable internet
access. Speaking to both cable and phone companies, cable says service
will never be extended to my area; phone company says DSL will not be
available within the next 10 years, and perhaps never. Satellite is very
expensive, especially on a fixed income. Cellular is spotty in many rural
areas - which includes 15 miles SE of Raleigh NC.

More about this, found tonight after going down a rabbit hole in a blog to
some very interesting pages:
The Facebook Bully
Judge an online community by how well it protects its most vulnerable users.
https://medium.com/@jomc/the-facebook-bully-d7a16f6ede38
"Earlier this year, Google Plus abandoned its real-name policy as it created
<http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/07/17/google_plus_finally_ditches_its_ineffective_dangerous_real_name_policy.html>
"unnecessarily difficult experiences for some of our users." This was an
opportunity likewise for Facebook to revise its approach to community
management. But the meeting was doomed from the start. Facebook apparently
had no intention of negotiating because the policy was crafted for the sale
of targeted ads not for the safety of human beings with complex identities."

[nafex] Rugosa and canina roses
I know little about shipping and planting roses in fall, but these sources may prove useful to you:
Raintree in WA state has Frau Dagmar in their catalog; 1-800-391-8892.
Greenmantle nursery in northern CA has 50+ types of roses, including Frau Dagmar, and other rugosas, 1 canina. You'll need to call 707-986-7504 (your dime.) She can probably steer you straight for a hip crop.
forestfarm.com has Frau Dagmar, canina and eglanteria roses, $10/tube (narrow and tall shipping carton for deeper roots, I surmise.)
