Next, paranoia had me thinking my ISP didn’t like you…

Turns out that disabling ActiveX has an affect on the loading of some sites, even if they don’t use it explicitly. Thinking that Microsoft and website programmers abandoned ActiveX because of all it’s security issues, I would be fine without it. I was wrong. It took me two months to find my mistake (as most other sites loaded O.K.)

Plus, the air in North Jersey kills enough braincells that I forget about your site from time to time

Back of ice cream truck

You replied as follows: (I hesitate to venture a guess)

Being from Conn. and in my youth having associated with some of the criminal element there, and having some knowledge of the New Haven area, I can shed some light into the meaning of this search term.

The ice cream truck is prisoner slang for the old Sheriffs’ prisoner transport vehicle. The incident in the back of the ice cream truck was one of the reasons why the Sheriff system in Conn. was abolished.

On August 18, 1999, New Haven Sheriff deputies shackled Sandra Caruso in the “metal-box-type” rear of the transport vehicle, after her remand to custody for not making bond in Derby Superior Court on a driving while suspended violation.

All that separated her from thirteen men was a metal partition that was kicked in by one of the men, who raped Ms. Caruso. Four others sexually assaulted her (too graphic to describe here).

Deputies say they heard and saw nothing.
