Green Apples, Red Apples, & Worms

So today was cool. We went on our first POS with Chuck to the Apple store on 5th Ave. It was pretty hectic at first. We thought there would be people camping out waiting for the phone but there was only one group of people there. They call themselves "The WhoFarm" and they were only there to promote their cause. They want to convince the next president to turn the front lawn of the White House into an organic farm. They've been camping out since July 4th, promoting their cause even though they were actually interested in the phone. They gave out all kinds of apples and fruits they grew themselves. And when they were done with all the fruit they'd eaten, they put it in this bin and after a while these worms got in somehow and ate the waste and it made the soil fertile or something like that but all i know was that it smelled foul. I conducted most of the interviews and I was really nervous because i had to walk up to complete strangers and like everyone was watching us. I think we were a bit shaky and confused but it was our first time so I think we'll get better throughout the summer. In addition to the research we do, I think we'll have a decent story. We had fun traveling especially when we realized that birds had pooped on Jennifer's stuff twice. The smell of horses was foul but other than that, it was a good experience. Looking forward to more...
