Remember that root beer float we had at Mt Rushmore
made with Jefferson’s original ice cream recipe,
swearing it was the best we’d ever had—
and how we swore to remind ourselves
that we’re always in a rush, and always want more,
when maybe we should just sip, spoon and float?

You really can get ice cream made from Thomas Jefferson’s original recipe at Mount Rushmore, and it really was the best root beer float I’ve ever had.
There is something to be said for a really fine root beer float! One of my favorite memories is of my father making us Boston Coolers in the summertime. With Vernor's, of course, which back then was our local ginger ale.
