Ice cream :) was RE: [AT] Glub glub;

[Larry D. Goss]

Once in a while we buy some nuts or some of the candy (remember when
Sears used to have a display like that inside every retail store), but
most of the time we just eat.  Rena and I went there at the end of our
first date.  She was playing in the Zanesville Community Band, so we'd
go there after she finished rehearsal and after every concert.  Tom's
became a "habit" REAL QUICK.  Once, I made the mistake of ordering a
sandwich and fries before trying to eat a Special #3.  I almost couldn't
finish the ice cream.

Have you ever had their champagne sherbet?  I've always wondered how it
tasted, but can't avoid the temptation of that mountain of ice cream.

Mmmmmmmmmm Tom's. Nope never heard of the place :) I've got
a long running joke with a buddy of mine from work. We both
work in Columbus but are originally from Zanesville so 
every time I go to Tom's (about twice a year) I get 1/4 pound
of Spanish peanuts and drop them on his desk. No need for a
note to explain who was there or where they came from. I 
spoke to the owner when we were in there a while back and
commented on how good the ice cream was and how consistent
it is. He said that it's because they are using milk from
the same dairy that they used when they first opened back in 
the 50s. The cows are decedents on the original ones on
the farm.

I suppose you know about Tom's Ice Cream Bowl in Zanesville then, Gene.
We celebrated by having supper there a week ago last Thursday night.
We've been visiting that establishment for 42 years.  I always have the
Black and White Special #3 with nuts.  In the old days, it was only
$1.75 for the whole concoction.  Today it's still served in the same
HEAVY ceramic bowls (very reminiscent of rabbit bowls) on a saucer to
catch the overflow and they still make their own ice cream, but the
price is $3.95.

Anyway, it took us two hours to make the three miles from marker 132 to
129.  The big bottleneck was caused by single lane traffic on US 40
between Hebron and Luray.  We jogged up to Ohio 16 and came on into
Columbus that way.  I-70 was open when we went back on Saturday morning,
but as I said, they closed it down again after we came back through on
Tuesday.

They're using a bunch of quad tractors with duallies front and back to
service the flooded areas down here along the Wabash in Posey and Gibson
counties.  It's a little scary to see those guys driving through water
that's up to the hubs with all eight tires spinning freely in the mud. I
hope the seals are good.  Otherwise there's going to be a bunch of
transmission rebuilding going on this spring.
