I can NOT, for the life of me, remember exactly where, but the food
network did a piece on ice cream...
There was a company in FL that was based aboard a few small boats that
delivered ice cream much like a nautical "Good Humor" man...
... I thought that was a really neat retirement concept....
We used to go boating on the Potomac and spend a lot of time in Belmont Bay,at
the mouth of Occoquan Creek, at a 'boaters' beach'. On the weekends there would
always be a house boat out there selling beer, ice cream, etc. He was always
mobbed. He'd anchor about 25 yards off shore, and it looked like he was making a
fortune. Now they've turned that area into a state park and made almost
everything illegal (like drinking or picnicking on the beach), so very few
people go there.
But, there are a lot more eagles and deer there!
