The ice cream trucks were out in force today. Three were near the house at one time. One was playing 'Popeye the sailor' another 'Santa Clause is coming to town' and the third 'Cow kicked Nelly'.

I thought I heard Satan.

I feel your pain. The ice cream truck drivers in El Paso have no dignity at all. Its bizarre at best.

The local HOG chapter here goes out for ice cream so often, they finally made the guy that drives the ice cream truck a Road Captain. Now some of them are complaining that he drives too fast. He, in turn, complains that they always ask for the AARP discount.

Personally, I could go for a Mr. Softy cone right about now...
Oh, wait, they don't come this far down in Virginia, so it'll have to be a Dairy Queen cone...

Now that’s funny .....

I actually pulled over an Ice Cream Trust while I was on my bike last weekend with my 11 year old daughter.

We were just cruising by our new apartment we're getting ready to move into when we spotted the truck coming the other way. I'm not sure what song was playing. I went past him, turned around, and then rode behind him for a half mile ... waving, beeping' my horn, trying to get him to stop. But he just kept going. So I pulled around him and got in front, and just slowed down until he stopped. We parked the bike and got our ice cream.

I said to the driver " didn’t you see us behind you ? " It turned out he didn’t speak very much english, but I did catch " no mirror " ... sure enough, as he went by I saw he had no drivers side mirror. But, I got us a couple of fudgesicles ... and they were good !
