>>>>North Carolina has a lot of cheese farms (not factories per se). The most common cheese is goats' milk cheese. It's a fresh spreadable chèvres available at numerous locations. We also (thanks to our large hispanic population) have those specializing in Mexican cheeses. We also have a lot of hoop cheese available at the farms and some of my other favorites are Chapel Hill Creamery's Hickory Grove cheese (a monastery-style (unpasteurized) cheese that has been flavored by pine needles), new moon fresh cheese from the same place, and this is my favorite place so far:

>>No, if you start combining blades, you put them in a rack and it's called server farm. Can't confuse that with a cheese farm, because it's really hard to confuse - runs Linux.

Was it soundproofed? We once accidentally hitchhiked a combine. Tried to hitch the car which was just passing it, but the car didn't stop; combine did. We weren't in a hurry, and would feel sorry to refuse - it's not every day that so many tons of hardware stops for you, so we climbed up the sack gutter and onto the... well, can't call it cabin, as it was open. More of a balcony. And the guy picked another guy along the way, someone with a small motorcycle; the bike's chain just went off. He pushed the bike up, so there were four of us, plus the two-wheeler up there. It took about half an hour to drive these two kilometers :). Then the driver tried to shove some money to us, for the bus. He couldn't imagine someone (specially so poor as to have no money for barber ;) would hitch just because they played turbo folk music on the buses. We just happened to have went to buy some books, but the publishing was late, so we still had the cash - had to show it to prove we don't need any, thanks :).

Months later, we exchanged experiences with another hitchhiker, and ended up tied - he once hitched a circus wagon, with a monkey and a black clown. Couldn't decide who was funnier.
