$4 Apples and $2 Cab Rides

There are a lot of things that sometimes seem a little out of balance here. Today, the oddity lies in the fact that I can purchase a $4 apple at the grocery store and spend less than $2 in cab fare getting to that grocery store.

Why on earth would I buy a $4 apple?

Curiosity of course! I should think that a $4 apple could have actually tempted Adam and I wanted to experience the ultimate in sinful natural treats. Alas, the Japanese Mutsu temptation tastes far better with a glob of peanut butter on it. Luckily for us mortals, the snake did not have a jar of Jiff--Adam would never have seen that apple and the world would be a far less interesting place.
