Well, I kinda freaked Angie out in my first reply to her post ( ;-) ), so
let me clarify a little bit. I know the area where Angie lives fairly well,
because I lived there for 7 years when I was a kid, and still have relatives
there that I occasionally visit. So that's how I know where the Moline
Wal-Mart is.
And for those of you poor souls that have never had the privilege of eating
at Whitey's, it is the best ice cream in the world. They will ship their
ice cream, shakes, etc. if anyone is interested. :-) BTW, Angie, if your
pup survives, you owe me a large vanilla oreo shake! :-P
This is one of those times I'm very glad I haven't left the GML.
