In honor of those purveyors of those great Slurpees and Big Gulps, today is devoted to you, July 7, 2011, as in 7-11-11. We'll expand that to cover all convenience stores with all that good-for-you stuff to eat and drink as well as that super-sized gas prices these days.
I remember the first 7-11 store, so named at the time because they were open from 7 am to 11 pm, way longer than regular stores. The first one I saw was out in California, and that was where I had my first Slurpees and it immediately became one of my favorite things to drink, even if I'd occasionally drink too fast through that straw and get a case of brain-freeze.
Of course, four days ago, we had another convenience store celebration, but since I wasn't writing checks, it got by me.
So, Any Way, let's Lift Our Slurpees and Have a Toast. --RoadDog
YOU MIGHT BE FROM CHICAGO IF...You know the difference between Amtrack and Metra.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
