Freezee Coming to Jerusalem

Just ran into my wife's cousin's son and his wife at a wedding in Jerusalem. They are from the U.S. and asked about the Freezee. (They had heard about the write up in the Jerusalem Post.) When I told them we are bringing it to Jerusalem within 2 weeks they got excited. The one thing they missed coming to live in Israel was their Slurpee at 7eleven and now with the Freezee in Israel...
Can't wait to see the machine working in the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem!

Her First Time!

I took my wife to Holy Bagel in Modiin for the first time since the machine was installed. Although she had tasted the Freezee from various kids that brought them home, she never really understood why it was such a big deal. As she waited in the car for me to talk to the owner (he had just ordered syrup for another 1300 cups of Freezee), I took a sample of cola and brought it out to her. What a great reaction! She kept talking about how fantastic the Freezee is. I wish I had it on tape - it would have made a great YouTube video! "So fluffy!" "Such a cool drink!" "Wow!" "Cold and sparkling, I love the bubbles!" " This is great!" I guess nothing beats a freshly served Freezee.
What more can I say? Can't wait for the next three machines to arrive in port so that we can install them here in Israel.

Another Freezee Happy Ending

I bought a refractometer from Charlie Downs in the U.S. Three weeks later it still hadn't arrived. He was listed on EBay as a great supplier. He was an expert in this specialized gadget and knew what he was talking about.
So I called him and he said that he "has my back" and he would actually resend one without my having to pay for it. However, I need it now! So we agreed that I would check at our local post office first. (It was sent regular U.S. mail to Israel).
Our post person said it wasn't there but similar packages take 2-3 weeks based on the ones still sitting on the shelves. I came back one evening and was given the phone number to Ramle post office but they can't track anything without a tracking number (duh).
Today I went in and low and behold she said she found it! EXCEPT that there is a problem. The little post office here was broken into. Some things were just found slightly damaged or maybe worse! The minute of explanation seemed like an hour until she pulled out the package. It was opened but not fully and not damaged and YEAH - we have a refractometer. Next post I might even explain what it does to make the Freezee perfect!
