"How" 'Bout That?

At long last, we've come to the end of our list o' questions. We have finished off all the "W"s 'n' come to the "H". Once this one has been answered, we can fin'ly get on with the actu'l meat 'n' potatoes o' this whole undertaking. So let's get the "H" out o' here so we can commence.

How am I going to go 'bout doing this? Quite simple, really. First I'm going to take an apple (we've already decided that any ol' apple'll do), wash it, cut it in quarters, core it, cut it in eighths, 'n' then consume it. 'Bout as easy as it gets, right? Well, maybe not.

As we found out with the questions over what constitutes an apple fer the purposes o' this undertaking, there is also something 'bout the "How" o' this that ain't so cut 'n' dried as it might seem. What I'm specifically talking 'bout is how often does one have to eat an apple fer it to be considered "an apple a day". Does that mean at least once ever' calendar day? Does it mean at least once in ever' twenty-four hour period? Does it mean at least once within ever' cycle o' daylight hours, not at no time during the early morning er night?

If we say once ever' calendar day, can I eat one at say 6 A.M. on the first day 'n' the next one at 11 P.M on the second day? That's more than 36 hours without an apple. Does that mean I did not eat an apple a day, even though they was et on two consecutive calendar dates? Do they have to be treated like medication that must be taken, roughly, within twenty-four hours o' the last one to ensure that a certain level o' whatever beneficial compounds there may er may not be are maintained in the bloodstream at all times?

Well, fer the purposes o' this, I think I can get by with considering "a day" to mean a calendar date. So, long as I have at least one apple within any 24 hours between 12:01 A.M. 'n' midnight of any given day, that will qualify as "an apple a day", irregardless o' how much time has passed since the eating o' the previous apple.

'N' since we're discussing "How"s, this might be a good time to explain how this thing is going to be set up. Each day I will post a picture 'n' the variety o' the apple I ate the day before. Following that will be a picture, where available, 'n' description of a different variety of apple each day, just to give folks an idea o' just how many differ'nt kind o' apples're out there. The pictures 'n' descriptions will be courtesy o' the wonderful folks at All About Apples, who have graciously agreed to let me use this information that they've collected. So, a big tip o' the hat to them.

That will be followed, when possible, with whatever I'm in the mood to discuss that day. It could be inter'sting facts 'bout apples I've picked up here 'n' there. It could be talking 'bout the current state o' health care in the United States of America. It could be comparisons 'tween the current state o' health care 'n' what it was years ago er what it's like in differ'nt countries. It could just be me yapping 'bout my bad leg er my most recent bowel movement. It's just going to be whatever I'm in the mood to talk 'bout. We'll just have to wait 'n' see, 'cause, at this point, I ain't got too much more idea what all'll crop up than ya'll do.
