I was driving out to meet the HSMers in Centre Hall, PA for our CityServe project the other day and I passed a sign for "Ideal Holsteins". I'm sorry. What? Ideal holsteins? They're only ideal, no better than that?
Random person: Yes hello! I'm looking for a holstein. One that is really beautiful, eats a nice grass/hay mix, and will win awards at the next 4-H show.
Farmer: Hmmm well I have me here some ideal holsteins (pronounced "ahdeel hulsteens" of course)
Random person: Ideal you say? Hmm. Will that be good enough?
Farmer: Well they're ideal.
Random person: Only ideal? You don't have any Fantastic Holsteins?
Farmer: Nope, only ideal, didn't ya read the sign?
I wanted to stop and asked what made them only ideal. Was that good enough for this farmer? Why didn't he strive for more than ideal? But then I missed my turn onto Hoot Road (yes I mentioned the specific road name here because it is such a fantastic road name) and had to pull some fancy driving moves to get myself turned around without spilling seven pizzas all over the inside of my car.
