Do you remember life before the internet?
Bobby The Ice Cream Driver
There was a man I knew named Bobby who drove an ice cream truck that played “Do Your Ears Hang Low” on repeat. He sold Nutty Buddies and Fudge sickles that melted onto your shirt. That song would haunt him for years.
He called me collect one day because he needed help as he was too hung over to drive the truck. I was only twelve. Apparently, the lightning bugs bothered his eyes.
The winters were harsh back then. He had a prestigious job during the winter. He delivered phone books to the masses. People rejoiced when they got their phone book.
That’s what their ticket to fortune and fame. Anybody could reach them at any time.
Bobby don’t be a hero.








I would love to hear you opinion as well
