***sorry, just find the idea of an ice cream truck parked on a bridge in a terror-like manner amusing, probably in no doubt due to the cold medicines in my bloodstream. Playing "Pop Goes The Weasel" or "Turkey In The Straw"
It reads like the opening of a spy/horror movie. Can Liam Neeson disable the the speaker before it goes off enabling the destruction of all Baskin Robbins?
@ai6yr Well can you image day after day of that music unending. I am surprised more don't go nuts

@ai6yr "The Band Played On", but the tape loop had broken at some point so the last note is missing.

That actually existed in our neighborhood for years and years. Trust me; you don't even NEED explosives.

@ai6yr

Well, for the lactose-intolerant, the ice cream truck certainly contained explosives.

@ai6yr did you see the ice cream truck that looked like an official Sherrifs or ICE swat van in Vegas the other day? I’ll try to find the link……🤦🏼
@ai6yr My eyes can’t read it too well w out my readers but it says on its side.
‘Las Vegas’
Ice Cream Patrol
@jberry Okay then, that's is just strange.

@ai6yr @jberry more here.. https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/las-vegas-ice-cream-truck-mistaken-for-ice-vehicle-im-an-ice-cream-man-thats-it/

Edit: that didn't unfurl sorry - here's the headline:

" Las Vegas ice cream truck mistaken for ICE vehicle: ‘I’m an ice cream man, that’s it’ "

> “ICE and Border Patrol don’t use trucks from 1985,” Billy Settlemyers, the owner of Las Vegas Ice Cream Patrol, said Monday.

@jberry
Yup. I have my readers on and that is what is looks like to me.
