During the fall season, I discovered a lucrative side hustle as a pinion nut picker on the Navajo reservation. As I became more experienced, I realized that these nuts could be sold at the Navajo Nation Fair for five times their picking price. With this in mind, I shifted my focus to buying and selling the nuts for a profit. The subtitle song I chose is “Harvest Moon” by Neil Young. The lyrics describe a couple dancing under the moonlight during the autumnal harvest season but I think it translates my feelings about the Pinion Season rather well.
