Until COVID came along, my friends continued to share foods. That said, there's something special, about getting quality gelato.

Born and raised in San Francisco, I grew up with Swensen's ice cream. There was something about making that trek up the hill, which is close to the crooked Lombard (cf. the Naked Bike Ride you posted over on General) Street.

The Oakland Fenton's is towards the end of Piedmont Street. Thing is, as you go from Kaiser, up Piedmont, you pass so many other eateries. Vacaville also has a Fenton's.

I haven't worked anywhere near the Ferry Building, since 2012. Thus, it's been too long since I've had Humphry Slocombe.

Bi-Rite is another popular local brand.

But as my friends say, ice cream, gelato, music, and audio should not be mutually exclusive. Why can't we have 'em all?

  The Bay Area has never had a lot of local gelato makers. Like any place else, it's always had plenty of regular ice creameries. But it's also had its fair share of locally-made companies.
  
  When we were in college, having the wide variety of ice creams struck you, as an audiophile. You wondered why so many audio products failed to uncover and reveal the wide varieties of and in music .
  
  As I look back, we really have to credit or blame my old college friend, Tuyet for pushing me down this "cable highway." I think it was during Dead Week, in December 1991, when she and I went to Well Within Spa. Tuyet was already a fan of the AudioQuest Mini-Adapter Z. In the sauna, she slapped my thigh, and said, "Stop being a p****! Just get the [expletive deleted] Lapis!"
  
  I retorted, "Easy for you to say; it's not your money!" A $400 AQ Lapis cost almost as much as a component !
  
  The next school year, I actually brought the AQ Lapis to UC Santa Cruz. Like everyone else, Tuyet was amazed, at how much more music the Lapis let through. Moreover, until the Lapis came along, she didn't know that the electronics and recordings could sound so variegated. Yup, Tuyet likened it, to having the privilege of trying a greater number of ice cream brands and flavors.
