1985 to 2005, now I don't care who you are, but doing business in 1985 to 2005, you can do no wrong. You can't get anything wrong; everything you try works. So you say, I'm going to open up a retail shop. So you do. You open up the retail shop, you put whatever you want to sell in there, you put a sign on the door, you flip it over, it says open.People walk in and buy stuff. And you're like, ha, see, told you, I knew this business stuff.
Watch, they're going to come in and buy stuff. And they do. And you're like, damn, all right, I'm a business genius.
Everyone's in a business genius at this time. This is a picture of a hopper at my uncle's apple orchard in Pennsylvania. And every third week in September, we go up to his apple orchard and we help him pick the apples.
And we all joke. We're like, ha, we're farmers today. And my uncle would say, oh, I can't stand it when you people come up. Yes, you are a farmer today. Everyone's a farmer today when the apples are hanging on the tree.
