I think we all needed to see a great mullet today. This is one to be proud of for sure.

We were actually working on a “Yogurt Wars” story comparing Big Spoon Yogurt near East Sacramento with Yogurtopia on Freeport St.  Well it turns out the SacBee did a great job this weekend.  Of course they don’t pick sides.  We do: Big Spoon wins beacause the store is easier to navigate in, the prices are a tad lower, and they do not have the “chain store” vibe.  It *is* frozen yogurt, it’s not healthfood.  Yogurtopia evokes the feeling that they will be in every other strip mall throughout Sacramento one day.  Perhaps they can move into closed down Marble Slab locations. 

 We want Pinkberry.

SACRAMENTO –

A tractor trailer hauling blocks of cheese erupted into flames early Thursday, heating some of its precious cargo into freeway fondue.No one was hurt, but hundreds of pounds of provolone, cheddar, American and other cheeses littered the side of Interstate 80 north of downtown Sacramento.

“It went pretty quick,” said truck driver Frank Barker, who pulled over at 3:45 a.m. when he saw smoke coming from under his truck.

Barker said he initially tried to put out the flames with his truck’s fire extinguisher, but the fire was too big. He gave up and rescued his dog, who was traveling with him in the cab.

Barker was driving from Salt Lake City to the San Francisco Bay area.

“At this point, I just don’t know what I’m going to do or where I’m going to go,” Barker said.
