I was glad you said this about Wisconsin, because I love a particular kind of cheese that comes from there. It's called Colby. It's not commonly stocked at my grocery store out here; so when they get some in, I usually buy a few packages to keep on hand. :hungry:

Also, I love Vermont cheeses, but there's something about Colby, that it needs to come directly from Wisconsin!!! :joyfull:
My cousins own and operate a cheese factory in Wisconsin. We toured it when I was knee-high to a grasshopper.

I got a rejection letter from one of the places I applied to within 2 hours of my application being sent in. It says that while they were enthusiastic about my application, upon further inspection, they have other candidates who are more suitable. Translation: You are too old. OR You aren't Dutch. They technically aren't allowed to descriminate, but proving it is pretty impossible. But I never see minorities working there, and they have it set up for age discrimination here. 16 year olds only get less than 3 Euros per hour here, 17 year olds like 50 cents more, 18 a bit more, etc up until 23. Once you hit 23, they have to pay you the minimum wage. And the more experience you have, the more expensive you become. So the fact that I'm in my 40s and have experience working in retail makes me too expensive. Hoping one of the other places works out. There's one store looking for someone for up to 32 hours a week, which most 16 and 17 year olds can't do because they have school. And it's a German company and I've seen lots of foreigners working there, so hopefully that will be better. I might have to look into some German classes to beef up my resume.

Good luck with the other options.

Story time...

So on one of our many, many Hersheypark days, we were getting ready to get on one of the rollercoasters, Stormrunner. I was injured and had a pass to use the elevator and bypass the line. So we're waiting there, and another group comes up behind us with like two VIP guides. I'm looking at this group, and this one guy is standing out to me. I'm like, "That guy is famous, who is that guy?" I caught a faint accent, but that didn't help. They cleared out an entire train so that this group could ride by themselves, and then they got back on the elevator, went down and continued with their day.

Later, I see my Hershey FB group blowing up. It was James McAvoy. Everyone was asking if he'd been spotted. I'm like, yeah, I had a personal up close view, and I was totally oblivious, didn't know who he was.

Now if this had been Patrick Stewart, I would have been totally freaking out, but I have a feeling he might be a bit old for roller coasters of that intensity. 🤣

Sorry to hear he was injured. I don't follow most sports, but realize that many people do. Is baseball one of your favorite sports?
