06:14 am - Early morning cheese thoughts
Well, it’s 6 AM. I’m getting so used to getting up early every day (while subbing [info]anarqueso’s receiving shifts for her vacation) that I’m waking up before my 6 AM alarm now. I don’t know what to think about that. Except that I’ve already made tea, washed dishes, and cut a dozen day-old bagels in half and stuck ‘em in the freezing.

Going to see Neko Case tonight with Stagey, Dairryiere and Dairryiere’s boyfriend (who I think had a nickname at one point, but I forgot it). I hope I can stay awake to a real adult bedtime.

Oh well, off to welcome the cheese to our store. Get on little Gouda. Welcome Winsome Washed-rinds. Bienvinidos both basic and bodacious Bries. Join us so-low-priced-that-you are-probably-driving-farmers-out-business-until-enough-cows-get-killed-to-lower-production Jack! Hop off those trucks and settle in to the walk-in!

Is it wrong that I picture you in cartoon cowboy garb welcoming the cheese?

I see that! May I suggest a cheese rodeo theme for your book jacket photo?

Look at you, being all Westernaire. Next thing I know, you are going to be showing up for Sunday supper in a Nudie suit covered with rhinestone cheeses.

"until-enough-cows-get-killed-to-lower-production "

ha ha, the truth.
But farmers aren't that smart.
When prices are low, farmers get more cows to make up the difference.
When prices are high, farmers get

more cows..

well, there's a big cull-for-cash program going on right now in much of the US, depending on which co-op one sells their milk to.

Really? That's complete news to me...and I think to the locals as well. I'll check that out.
With The local creamery meltdown ( and the low milk prices)I'd think that would be quite popular here right about now

you know what? I conflated two different articles I was reading. One about the '80s-era culling and one about what's going on now. The co-ops may yet push congress for cash-for-cull but it is certainly not the reality: http://www.cheesemarketnews.com/ (june 5 top article)

I guess I need more sleep.
