I wanted to share one cool thing about living in Longmont -
The Longmont Dairy Farm. In fact we have a lot of dairies and other cattle operations here in CO. I'm sure of this because the price of milk and steak at grocery store is usually quite low. Milk is typically $1.58/gallon. Can you believe it? But, the cool thing about the Longmont Dairy Farm is that they deliver... Fresh milk to your doorstep... On Tuesdays... In glass bottles... How cool is that?!
With the minimum order of 3 bottles (we get 2 bottles of white and 1 bottle of chocolate), plus a small delivery charge, our monthly bill was ~$35. This is approximately seven times what I would normally spend on milk in a month. And its about the maximum amount of milk we can possibly drink. I think I'm getting a little sick of milk trying to drink it all. However, we figured it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So, we'll probably keep it up for another month or so, and then allot that $30 elsewhere.

Milk was delivered to the Johnson clan in Savannah during the 40's,50's & early 60's in quart glass bottles and set on our front doorstep. Not sure what consumption rate was but with six kids and two parents... I suspect it was significant...but no chocolate.
Roads were dirt and we would hop rides on back of milk truck for a ways and then jump off!
