It is the first popsicle truck through our neighborhood this year. The sound of the canned tinkling Scott Joplin music is just too strange to hear on this decidedly not sunny day. Even worse, the truck has cycled through our neighborhood three times today, round and round, until we began to worry that something horrible had happened to the driver. 

The driver is fine and I do believe that most of us now have our heads under pillows, unable to withstand the sound of the cursed popsicle truck cruising round and round and round............
