Ice Cream Correctness
Thought this was a nice advertising for ice cream in the food court at the mall.
It's funny that they painted this over some doors, and you can see the lock in the center, right under the "Bomb Pop."
In the age of radical terrorism, I wonder if that's the best name for ice pops geared for children (and adults).
I think we need to consider being emotionally intelligent and politically correct.
Since it's red, white, and blue, how about rebranding it as the American Pop (with no ticking time bomb association)! ;-)

Out of Control Ice Cream
But somehow I managed not to get any...this time.
I promise!
LOL
These are made with fresh hot waffles wrapped around your choice of ice cream and toppings.
As you can see these are pretty big and scrumptious!
Anyway, they have a store in Rockville and I absolutely must stay away from it.
Oh, maybe I just go in once for a taste. ;-)

Welcome Back - Leadership and Donuts
Really impressed today going back to work after the 5-week Federal government shutdown...
And who is at the front gate, in the dark and freezing cold welcoming every single person back?
The director of the agency!
And not only that, but he is handing out morning donuts to the crew.
This was a truly spectacular display of leadership.
I've seen this only one other time in my 30-year career and that was at the Secret Service, where the director stood behind the dessert table at the agency holiday party serving out the ice cream.
Humility and giving are what true leadership is all about.
I am proud to serve under such leaders as these. ;-)

The Makings Of Cold Stone
Gotta hand it to Cold Stone Ice Cream.
They know how it make it cold, sweet, and rich tasting.
Here they are making the signature Cookie Doughn't You Want Some.
French Vanilla Ice Cream
Chocolate Chips
Cookie Dough
Fudge
Caramel
OMG, it is super premium!
And they make it right there in front of you.
As you mouth waters for it, you almost want to just stick you finger in and snatch a bite.
Oh, the simple, sweet pleasures of life. ;-)

Just Frogs
What's with the frog infatuation--especially associated with ice cream and frozen yogurt (SweetFrog, Frogg's Ice Cream, Frosty Frog, etc.)?
According to Save The Frogs, some interesting facts:
- There are over 6,300 species of frogs and toads (a close, warty relative of the frog).
- They range from just 9 mm to over 30 mm and 6.6 lbs, and can live from a few years to as many as 30-years (ol' frog river uncaring with the flow of the Mississippi).
- Frogs are amphibians developing in their larval state in water as herbivores, but as adults living on land as carnivores (flies anyone).
- Toads tend to have poisonous secretions as does the Poison Dart Frog (maybe the princess should not be kissing that frog).
- Australian Stony Creek Frogs build nests for their eggs just like birds (got to protect those youngins).
- Wood frogs adapt to the freezing cold by stopping their breathing, blood flow, and heartbeat (now that's extreme hibernation).
- Similarly, Burrowing Frogs survive hot, dry climates by slowing their metabolism and shedding their skin into a protective mosture-retaining cocoon, and others can live underground for as many as 10 months and surface in mass when the rains come (like the 2nd plague in Egypt).
- Pesticides, fertilizers, and parasites have been increasing deformities in frogs such as missing limbs or having 6 legs (making jumping on 3 legs a bitch and jumping on 6 an unfair advantage).
Frogs are a great illustration of how to "adopt or die" with the emphasis on living and thriving forward--not so sure though about frog-flavored ice cream. ;-)
