So it finally hit over 60* for the first time since October last year...and the ice cream truck is making it's rounds right now. 
Did you have one drive around when you were a kid?
Mine was like this one:
but it was a 70s DJ,it said 'Joe's' on the side in orange, and it blared 'The Entertainer'. Always got either the red/white/blue popsicle or a fudgesicle. What did you get? (I want to run after the ice cream truck right now).

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

We had one, not a jeep like that, more like this...
He didn't come by regularly though. Seems like 1-2 times a summer we'd see him. I guess we weren't one of his usual stops or something, and he'd just cruise by if he was looking for customers. No skin off our ass though, we had several stores within a stones throw that had ice cream."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -

when I was a kid, all we hand were the dickee dee's guys:
they used to have to pedal all that ice cream around...
and St. John's was not a flat place.... I lived at the top of a massive hill... always used to feel so bad for the guy.... we worked his damn ass off to sell those $2 ice creams...
what I wouldn't kill for a phantom right now though...Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.0 -
Did it come replete with the guy up there?
(he looks like Daniel Negreanu, for anyone who follows poker)
I just remember the heat as a kid - LA style - and hearing that singsongsound of the truck and reacting like one of Pavlov's fucking dogs.

He sure did like working it in the orange leather didn't he?
(I totally wanted to be an ice cream truck driver...just so I could stop and when the kids got close drive away and watch them run after me... ) The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

I love ice cream trucks! On my street in the summer, I get a truck about once a day and several guys with the little carts come by.
Gonna miss those chimes.
