Graduation Photo
Here’s a photo of the graduating class of the school I recently finished, taken about a week ago:
Ice Cream Cones
I’ll bet you didn’t know that the first
ice cream cone was created at the 1904 World’s Fair by Abe Doumar or
that he was also the first to make an ice cream cone machine! Well,
neither did I, until tonight, when I stumbled across Doumar’s Cones & Barbecue in Norfolk, Virginia. That first ice cream cone machine is still in use, in fact, and still creates a tasty ice cream cone!
Here it is, along with the product of its labors:
Doumar’s Barbeque was OK, but the Ice Cream was very good!
Note: Yes, I’m still in Norfolk. There were some paperwork issues
that have delayed my departure for about a week. Just a few more days…
Almost There
Wow - Monday’s coming fast! That’s the
day I graduate my ‘C’ School and start my drive down to Florida. I’ve
been in the Navy almost 11 months without setting foot on a ship, so
it’s about time!
On a side note, I found a site today with quite a few pictures of
both the USS De Wert and what it looks like inside a frigate. Click here to take a look.
