Am I mistaken in thinking that cakes are usually a 3-D affair?






Just a brief note before I expound on Opening Night at San Francisco Opera's Ring Cycle.


I was having an online conversation with a woman from Dallas.  A woman who had asked my advice on travel to Mexico, specifically to Playa Viva (see previous video post). Within her long and funny question she mentions Carvel.
This throws me for a loop and I stop thinking about the drug cartels and state department warnings mainly because I'm thinking ,'Carvel? CARVEL?? Who knows about Carvel anymore? Does it still exist?'

I just checked.  And it does. 



And they have 3-D cakes. See:






 WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Aren't all cakes 3-D?


 My time-dimension-pseudo science/general knowledge level gut, feels like there's a trick in there that I can't figure out and since I can only count using my fingers, anything that whispers


                                                                    "Time-space continuum + (ice-cream) + cake=3-D"


 really puts me in a tizzy.


More about the Nibelung and the $25 million house for sale down the street later.


Now to rummage around for some ice-lollys
