Isolation Thought

All of a sudden, Ice Cream Wars has come to this side of town. For years we have been stuck with the ubiquitous Dairy Queen and a personal favorite, the Honey Hut. Just a few weeks ago, the Cold Stone Creamery opened up at Ridge Park. It has nothing to with Steve Austin. I had noticed some construction by an area KFC, across from one of the Dairy Queens. Alas, it is Handel's!!! Now, this is good. And a couple of Carvels are coming to Ohio soon. I guess all of these outlets looked at the latest "Fat City" index and decided to give it a shot.

File this under Odd Lines From Your TV. While stumbling through the dial today, I heard this on an infomercial for what I believe was the "Bun and Hip Roller": "After about 5 seconds, you can feel it in your butt?" The production staff apparently lacked better footage, so they left it in. You have to watch at least a little bit of these infomercials. I mean, how would we know about Chef Tony otherwise?

Wouldn't it be great to get a day off for Reagan's burial? Just a thought, it is June.

Meal of Links

Wi-Fi is free in so many places, it's hard for businesses to make money on it.

MGM Mirage, apparently jealous of the pool at Mandalay Bay, rolls the dice and makes an offer for the Mandalay Resort Group.

Colorado is the strangest place. How do you make a homemade bulldozer and no one knows? And don't you have to take a test run, before knocking over your Town Hall and library? He is the front-runner for Bitterman of the Year.

Exercise Yard

All the ladies were holding their breath as Oscar de la Hoya barely gets a decision over Felix Sturm. Gotta be the weight. Bernard Hopkins also wins to potentially set up a huge fight in September.

Visitor

None, it's Sunday.

Dude, that's like the fifth Handel's in the area. My parents used to take me to the original location in Boardman, but I never saw Bill Cosby there. (http://home.netcom.com/~ellisonj/icohandels.html)

And don't forget about Mitchell's (http://www.sunnews.com/news/2002/part1/0328/ECREAM.htm) in Solon. And East Coast Custard (http://www.eastcoastcustard.com/history.htm).

Mmm, custard.
