Evening Trip to Coldstone

With the recent demise of Ms. Peach's car it has become necessary for a guest to fill in the blog until she can locate a new permanent mode of transportation. In acknowledgement, it seemed only appropriate to reminisce about one of the last eventful trips taken in said car. Below contains the events as remembered during the author's visit to Peachtree City.

The events actually started the day before when during an exploratory trip to Newnan the fearless pair (Ms Peach and Mr. Hawkeye) managed to successfully locate a movie theatre, which was conveniently located next to a Cold Stone Creamery. Well after a mere 24 hours of dreaming about the ice cream, Ms. Peach declared that the evening's plans would include a trip to Cold Stone Creamery.

That evening Ms. Peach and Mr. Hawkeye bounded out the door and up the driveway to the the Mystique always wondering what mystery might be in store for them tonight. They pulled out of the neighborhood and onto the main road running through PTC. Ms. Peach informed Mr. Hawkeye to keep a look out for Cold Stone located somewhere on the right. Not thinking much about it, Mr. Hawkeye delightfully gazed out the window almost tasting the tantalizing ice cream already. Seconds became minutes and Mr. Hawkeye realized that there was no Cold Stone in PTC but instead he would have to survive the drive to Newnan (waiting 15 minutes must be like Chinese water torture when it involves Cold Stone). During this wait it occurs to Mr. Hawkeye that Cold Stone is located on the left hand side of the street, not the right. He very meekly brought this point up to Ms. Peach who very politely informed him that he should remove his foot from his mouth as he was clearly wrong and Cold Stone would be on the right. Mr. Hawkeye is not known for his sense of direction so he politely accepted the statement of Ms. Peach and went back to dreaming of ice cream.

As the pair began to approach the shopping district in Newnan, Mr. Hawkeye realized that all the stores were in fact on the left hand side as he had remembered. So once again he suggested to Ms. Peach that she switch lanes in preparation for taking a left turn into the shopping district. This time Ms. Peach verbally assaulted him asserting that saying Cold Stone was on the left was akin to suggesting the sun rose in the West. Well after a heated confrontation, in which Mr. Hawkeye tried to point out the Chili's where the pair had an eventful lunch the previous afternoon, he sulked into his chair to lick his wounds.

Before long Mr. Hawkeye was vindicated as Ms. Peach realized her error and begrudgingly anointed Mr. Hawkeye king as he so deserved. So you readers may ask where is the death defying story…this is after all a tale of ways that GA is out to kill Ms. Peach. Well here come the fateful events.

Not be sufficiently prepared to turn left, the duo had to make a U-turn (yes perfectly legal, in fact almost encouraged in the state of GA) to back track and head towards the Cold Stone. Headed in the proper direction (and now with Cold Stone on the right side…maybe Ms. Peach was planning this all along…intervesting [strokes pointed beard]) Ms. Peach turns into the entrance for the movie theatre.

The car had traveled no more than 5 feet before the payment gave way to a dirt parking lot filled with car smashing boulders and car eating divots. Mr. Hawkeye was trembling in fear thinking his life would end without even getting to enjoy Cold Stone one last time. Well somehow, Ms. Peach fearlessly navigated the craggy "parking lot" and got the pair back to the main road. However, as they waited another car prepared to turn into the same obis. Sadly, the pair was not able to sufficiently alert this other car in sufficient time and to this day they are not sure whether the car's occupants have been heard from.
