Lesson Learned: Ice Cream Can Turn Any Situation Around

Yesterday at work I had to drive 1 hr. and 45 min. away to a gas leak in Weldon, North Carolina; which is basically on the North Carolina/Virginia border.

According to a press release from town officials crews were repairing a sewer line when they hit a gas line and had to evacuate 3 blocks. The clean up was supposed to take at least 6 hours but when I got there it was already done. So, I called the newsroom and they told me to turn around and come home. I didn’t even take my video camera out of the back seat.

Knowing I had an almost 2 hr. drive back home I decided to stop at Dairy Queen and treat myself to a refreshing treat. For all those of you who have not splurged yet on DQ's blizzard of the month, the calories are well worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed the oreo-brownie concoction and therefore will have fond memories of my time in Halifax County.
