It's the ice cream man!

It's free ice cream day! Wahoo!

Every once and awhile, maybe once every two months or so, the company that runs the military housing out here on Oahu sponsors an ice cream truck to drive around the neighborhood, passing out free ice cream to everyone. Every man, woman and child pours out onto the street when they hear that free ice cream truck approaching. Census 2010 workers, take note: if you want an accurate count of how many people live in a neighborhood have an ice cream truck drive up and down the streets, blaring "Do Your Ears Hang Low" while handing out ice cream shaped like Sponge Bob Square Pants.

By the way, I am keenly aware of the inconsistency between my last post about working out and this post about me sprinting towards free ice cream. Judge me if you want, but it was free chocolate ice cream. I'm completely comfortable with being judged.

The ice cream man came through our neighborhood yesterday, too.
