Root Beer Float

A traditional yet most functional necessity on the way home: one Root Beer Float from Queen City Creamery, downtown Cumberland.

("Mom, what is that?" "It's a root beer float, honey. It's your grandfather's favorite.")

Yet it's part and parcel of the celebratory return to one's own state, coming in from the wilds of WV. See that little state there? By god I own it! It's mine.
