Goodbye 308

YC tells me that it's been a while since I'd posted. There's so much that happened between my last post and now, and most of which I can't really share, at least not in this medium. I'll make an effort to post a little more in the future; just thoughts and silly things. In the meantime, this is a post from one of my favourite blogs, the owner of an ice cream shop in Ireland.

"I heard some sad news from Colm, the farmer who delivers us our Kerry Cow Milk, and that is that one of his Kerry cows, the one in the photo above, has died suddenly a week after giving birth. She was known as 308, not the prettiest name, perhaps, but she was a pretty cow, and I had many photos of her. It's easy to forget, when there's milk coming in, that there are animals behind it all, and so today I'll lift a cone
to the memory of the pretty 308."

Yes, it's easy to forget, when times are good, that getting to where we are isn't the single act of one person. It is the combined effort of a galaxy of people who love us.
