Weekend Plans
- 
 Apple picking weekend. Every Indigenous Peoples' Day weekend my family (I have a huge family) gets together to pick apples and press them for apple cider. We've been doing it since I was in high school. Really fun tradition.

 Just make regular cider or do you make hard cider too?

 Speaking of Brazilian Grill, we should do that as group during SpiceWorld next year. It's right across the street. But now that I think about it..would that exclude Scott and Dominica?

 Ha ha. Just checked the map, definitely three hours to Brasil. We are exactly halfway from Houston to Brasil.

No roads connecting North and South America. Research the Darian bio gap. Holy crap... who would have thought that there is a 100 mile stretch of no road between central and south America...

You have to have a special visa from the Panamanian government to even approach the zone, let alone enter it. It's a biodiversity gap to stop diseases from spreading between the continents.

That makes sense.. I am assuming more for livestock than humans?
