moles.’ It made one secretly grateful for the Amish, who did not do this, but unfairly annoyed with them when
they sold to people who did. Still, mostly the Amish were buying up farms as is, and holding services in their
parlors, though it was bitterly said in Dellacrosse that their wagons and trotting horses chipped and dinged the
roads,buy aoc gold, and that their houses were declared churches in order to stay off the tax rolls and that they bred like rabbits
and dressed like bats.
‘Watching the snow melt?’ I asked my brother.
‘Yeah,cheap lineage 2 adena, I mean, what the hell kind of weather is this?’ asked Robert, continuing to look outside at the sky. Clouds
were starting to balloon there, as if a party were getting ready to begin.
‘Your language,’ said my mother.
‘My language is English,’ said my brother.
‘It’s beginning to look nothing like Christmas,’ I sang. ‘Everywhere I go.’
‘Nice voice,’ said my brother, sounding sincere, which surprised me. But then he added, under his breath, ‘Blah,
blah,l2 adena, fuckin’ blah.’
‘Conversation inside needs brightening,’ I tried singing again, ‘because the climate change is frightening!’
‘Global warming,’ said my father. ‘They’ve found prickly pear cactus as far north as the Hottomowac River.
And even the Costco has taken to putting fake spray frost on their windows this year.’
I tightened my bathrobe. It was nice to have my father here. Often during past holidays he had been too busy
supplying the high-end restaurants in Chicago with their gourmet vegetables’not just cold-storage potatoes but
little purple eggplants and shallots; supplying them over the holidays meant driving the truck all the way to
Illinois in the snow, and he could never make it back in time for dinner. The local farming, like art, had always
catered to the rich in one way or another. The dairy farm down the road, I knew,eve online isk, kept the county’s doctors and
lawyers and ministers as private customers, selling them their best premium butter. The rest of the butter’known
as Dellacrosse grease’went wherever. And the local cheesemakers were in some strange condition of reversal.
One of the old cheese factories had gone under and become a school. And one of the old schools had become a
cheese factory. But anartisan cheese factory, done with syringes of mites and vegetarian rennet. This was the
kind of cheese factory that had the best chance of making it’food for yuppies’like my father’s dainty potatoes,

arranged by hue in purple net bags. These cheesemakers gave their cheeses eccentric names like Unplugged and
Washed Midget: wacked food for wacked people, my brother said disdainfully. The producers of conventional
cheese were busy with the governor trying to find niche marketing in Japan.
In the morning sunshine my parents looked cleansed of their reinforcing farm dirt. They looked translucent and a
little frailer than they had even in the fall, when the black potato muck beneath their nails and the mud on their
shoes and clothing seemed to anchor them to the earth. Now they could’and might’ascend in a shaft of light, for
all I knew. I scarcely recognized them, as if they were only slightly animate in their holographic shimmer. In the
past their soil had warmed and defined them. Now they were like figurines made not even of glass but of
