blackout!

Yesterday npr reported (audio) on the tragedy at Artisanal, the NYC restaurant with over 300 cheeses whose cave lost its refrigeration in the blackout. The fromagier described carrying the cheeses to an undiclosed "cave-like location" and trying to cool them with sheets, but he lost over 90% percent of them. I know it's absurd, but it was a very sad story.

The good thing is that I discovered their on-line store, for those of you who can't get to the Cheeseboard.
