All Your Beach Are Belong To Us

hwangoOn Wednesday we went to York Beach in Maine, which was the first time in a few years I've been to the beach. It appears that on a Wednesday afternoon in May (before schools are out for Summer vacation) you're practically got the place to yourself. On Long Sands Beach there were about four other people besides us. You could actually hear the ocean, instead of screaming children. It was awesome. I noted at the time that this is what going to the beach would probably be like after the apocalypse...except there would probably be more giant crabs.
Astonishingly, Brown's Old Fasioned Ice Cream was actually open. They're worse than Meola's with their hours, and we've been up there before during what seemed like the perfect time/season/weather for normal people to want ice cream only to find them closed. It was always crazy expensive, and is now more so, but it's damned good ice cream. Also, it's amusing to read their list of weird flavors. They've got one called "Earth" that has blue ice cream with some kind of fudge swirl or something, so a round scoop of it looks like an Earth-like blue planet. It's cute. They also had "Baracky Road" and something along the lines of "McCain-dy Cane." Someone read those off and fake-laughed and then asked "What's Mango?" Now, I can't figure out if they thought Mango was supposed to be another joke name, or if they were trying to be funny, but all I could think of was a mango running as an independent in the election.
