Carvelian doings

[substitute]

The ice cream lady is taking delivery of tables and chairs from a huge truck driven by a smiling nervous Korean man. She is telling some old patio resident that the building has a new owner, and that she spent $28,000 $43,000 on an electrical transformer.

The scents of doom and of Fudgy the Whale are heavy in the air.

Oh wow the truck driver just got her to give him a "tip".
