I did this just this week, and it filled me with happiness, albeit of a wary sort.

Okay, having "Daybreak" as your ringtone — and alarm clock, because, awesome — is all fun and games until you're out in a pioneer cemetery, taking pictures of all the pioneer graves and shit because you've got time to kill before moseying on over to work, and you're having fun because your phone takes alright pictures…

Farming isn't actually all that much work.
