Yes.  I am the Milkman.  And this is my dairy.

I will be bringing more than sour milk and broken homes this time around.  I’ll still be bringing my services straight to your laps, but not to your beds.  I’ll be delivering techmilk.  All kinds.  Soy, rice, almond, hemp, cow, etc…  Dairy allergies are no longer an excuse Mrs. Robinson!

*raising glass of milk* Here’s to you, future followers.

Drink up.
