It's been... a couple of days. Bah. The power went out twice yesterday, which was Very Bad. We need power for a lot of things. Finishing the cheesemake we're in the middle of, for example. Getting water to our cows. Cooling our cheese. Milking. Lights, which are a wee bit important when your job consists of washing cheeses in a windowless, underground cellar.
