the_rckWe're waiting to see how overtime goes for Scott this fall. Usually, fall is a busy time for his company. They make plastic bottles for water and pop and such. During the fall, they usually get a lot of orders for bottles from orchards making cider. It's the one time of the year when the plant makes a profit (They're not entirely expected to make a profit. They're owned by a bottled water company and exist mainly to make bottles for that company. Breaking even is considered enough). There's a lot of overtime involved, and Scott hates cider season.
This year, though, there likely won't be much of a cider season. Michigan's apple crop was almost entirely wiped out by the weather-- The warm winter encouraged early budding and blooming, and then we had a couple of hard freezes that killed those buds and blooms. Scott's heard that cider's going to be selling between $8 and $10 a gallon. It will likely be made with imported apples.
I may have to think of something else to eat for breakfast. I normally have one turkey sausage, one plain pancake and half of a large apple. If apples are going to be expensive, I probably should come up with some other form of fruit to eat. Of course, all the local fruit tree crops were wiped out. I don't know. I guess I'll wait and see.
