A two-story bike next to the Ben & Jerry’s line. I guess the advantage is it gives you a good view over the traffic. Mounting and dismounting are slightly more complicated than normal.
We took time yesterday to catch up on chores: laundry, gas, groceries. We still have a few more things to take care of in the next few days. I discovered that the little knob that opens the bathroom window is broken. A tiny tab has broken off. We will stop at the Airstream dealer in Eugene on our way south and have them take a look and fix it.
Danine shows Cibyl and Ed her ice cream licking technique while we wait in line.
William (age unknown) is either discussing ice cream flavors, a new metaphysical theory, or bodily functions.
We got over to Ed and Cibyl’s around 4:00 p.m. and enjoyed a pasta dinner. But that was just a warm-up for the main course: Free cones at Ben & Jerry’s. We piled into two cars and drove across town, passing by, Danine and I noticed, some really lovely neighborhoods. The line was down the block a bit. However, it moved steadily. The Ben & Jerry’s scooper team was very efficient. By the time we got there they were out of Half Baked, so I settled for Coconut Seven Layer Bar. Mmm. The best part about picking an ice cream flavor is that you can’t go wrong. Everybody was quiet — even William and his friend Liam, sort of — while we walked down the block eating our cones.
On our way home we drove along old Route 30 and previewed some of the waterfalls in the deep twilight.

I was surprised to find out that the 2 story bike wasn’t Bobby’s.

Bobby, do you still have your unicycle?
) Also, I don’t think I’ve seen Eddie a.k.a Ed since I was about..oh..10 years old maybe? Glad to know he’s doing well!

The Brooks saddle on the double decker bike is a nice touch…
