POPPING A COLD ONE - Teddy's friend was a fixture on the streets of Dublin for fifteen years. The friend had walked the streets delivering ice for the Atlantic Coal and Ice Company since 1924. On a hot day, Teddy would like nothing more than an ice cold beer. Teddy's friend, a teenager, was kind of slow - so slow that folks called her "Lightning." Once in awhile, Teddy would reach back into the ice wagon and pull out a cold one for his friend. There was no law banning this teenager from drinking beer. You see, Teddy's teen-aged friend was, of course, a mule.
