AdM,
The strike here is in the public domain; I'm sorry you can't handle that.
I note your comment but the fact is I don't rant.
Here in France the cows have come home. Their milk at this time of year is used to make a very nice cheese called Vacherin Mont d'Or.
I can recommend it with some Hauts Cotes de Nuits.
You should try it, really.
