Hello Biz,

Just noticed this...  I snent my friend in Italy a Snickers bar along with  
a bubble pack envelope for the Annurca seeds and made an apple connection.

For a letter to qualify as a letter, and not a parcel it has to fit  
through a certain sizing slot.  I had to press down the Snickers bar a bit  
for it to fit through the sizing slot.

Packages bigger than the slot starts to cost more money.

Anyway, I sent my friend an email and mentioned the candy bar would be  
flattened, but it is fine to eat.  However, I had to translate it to  
Italian.

The Italian verb to flatten is "appiattire".  Api apples have a flattened  
shape, don't they?  If so, the name of the apple variety refers to it's   
fruit shape.  Api being derived from "appiattire"

Court Pendu Plat is also a flattish apple.  I wonder if all ancient apples  
were flattish, and late blooming.

Curious connection.

LAter,
Tom
