You walk into your local grocery or market, looking for apples. You see the displays. They are bursting with apples of many varieties. To your left you notice a sea of yellow and red apples - the sign says they are Jonathans. To your right you see bright, green Granny Smiths. But straight ahead, you see the biggest, reddest Red Delicious apples you have ever seen. You are drawn to the display knowing that is what you want. As you walk closer you can see that the merchant has polished every one.
You pick up a bag and start to select a few of the red marvels. Usually in this process you sort through looking for the fruit with no blemishes or soft spots. Today, though, each of these beauties is perfect. It is as if the merchant has already done the work for you. As you hold each apple in your hand you notice that each one could be used in a picture postcard or an advertisement.
