We also swung by a Baskin-Robbins...not the new one...an old one that I had a bad experience with one time before (crunchy crystals in my ice cream...refrozen you know).

I had the most intense conversation with the ice cream guy. I'm not kidding. This is how it went.

Him-"Can I help you?"
Me-"Do you have Jamoca Almond Fudge?"
Him-"One scoop?"
Me-"Two."
Him-"Anything else?"
Me-"On a sugar cone."
Him-"I will not forget you. When you come again, I'll know you and what you ordered."

I swear it was just like that...verbatim. This guy was hunkered down over the ice cream and staring into my eyes and talking to me like this was the most important thing in the world. And I responded just the same.

When he said that about not forgetting me, I believed him.

Steve gave him a dollar tip.

Huh. Nice to see someone care about his job, even if it's dishing ice cream.

All right, guys, I'm off until late Sunday. Everyone have a nice 4th! And keep the fireworks out of the Hole, we're too dry and liable to go up in flames.

My brain is fried, but what's that Martin Luther King quote? If you're a streetsweeper, be the best streetsweeper...etc...something like that...

That's cute about the audio cassette.

The ice cream guy may have been an alien ;-)

You didn't find this to be even the least bit creepy?

Do you always have that effect on ice cream guys, 2J? LOL! Just kiddin, that is really sweet. And it was great of that lady at Chick-fil-a to slip the tape to you for the boys! Glad you and Steve had a night out.
