Certain jobs just disappear over time, and still others resurface.
That’s the case with the milkman. I just did a story for the New York Times on the return of the milkman. Yes, the milkman. The guy that used to drop glass bottles of milk outside your front door.
Well, today it might be more the milkperson, since a few women are getting into the act.
The hours aren’t bad. Early in the morning before the world starts getting into full drive. You could go to school during the day, or hold another job.

I noticed a milk truck in my neighborhood just recently! They drop off dairy supplies at the neighbor’s refidgerator in the garage weekly. The neighbor raves about the freshness and superior quality. Plus with three kids, they have a steady supply.

i just love the idea of fresh milk right outside my door.
