Ice Cream!

Ah, Summer! A time for ice cream, days at the beach, nights on a friendly restaurant patio, guys in shorts, beach volleyball, and on and on and on...

Unfortunately Toronto is currently under the crushing grip of a city-wide garbage strike. It's not so horrible in the downtown core but the parks that are being used as waste storage facilities are tragically overfilling! I keep thinking of books like "Blindness" and "Day of the Triffids" where the accumulation of garbage (and corpses) bring on the rat infestation and terrible diseases. Of course, there are worse places to live...so I'll try to focus on my blessings...like living in a neighbourhood with lots of men in shorts and friendly restaurant patios.

A Carlos by any other name should be so hot! The red, black and white of the figure stand out well against the predominately blue background. That's a big helping of soft serve he's holding. Could it be a graphic metaphor? Judging from the stretch marks in his shorts it's "hard" to see anything soft served there!

Musclsvg - :) (smiley face emoticon says it all! Thanks.)
