Two Follow Up Postings: Several weeks ago I wrote about driving behind someone who was oblivious to the fact that their back windshield wiper was on. This morning I was driving behind someone that had obviously "lost" their back wiper. However, the little mechanism was going back and forth, as if the switch was unknowingly on. I ran up to the woman's car when stopped at a red light and told her. Very funny! Secondly, I tried Lizzy's ice cream last night. One word: YUM! I tasted the Mocha [Something] Lace, which was rich mocha ice cream with chocolate cover sugar crystals. (always get a taste, even if you know what you are ordering) I was worried about staying awake with the coffee though, so I ordered the Mint Oreo. (plus, I love Oreo ice cream) It was FABULOUS! Now I need to figure out what my next ice cream exploration will be. Ah, such fun in the summer.
