Washington State Apples -are they in America?

All the apples grown in WA and other US states, why do I have to keep buying apples from South America? I can't find American grown apples except for red delicious. And try and find organic ones in the US? Forget it!

cell phone use while driving

Using cell phones while driving is thousands of times more dangerous than impaired drivers. You may come across an impaired driver in one out of a several hundred vehicles and usually in the late pm. Being exposed to a driver using a cell phone is closer to one in 5 at anytime during the day. With all the stats and studies about the dangers of cell phone use I find it remarkable that our civic leaders would leave themselves liable. A suit seeking class action certification for injuries received from an accident caused by a driver using a cell phone is imminent. But I guess elected officials don't care about their next stint in office or the hundreds of millions it will eventually cost taxpayers if this scenario would unfold.
