Yesterday was July 11, or 7/11. Did you celebrate Slurpee Day? No? Understandable since Slurpee Day became another COVID-19 casualty.
When our kids were young and willing to hang out with us for such things, we'd make it a point to do a bike ride to 7-11 on Slurpee Day. We never made it in time for the free ones because those came in little 7.11 oz. cups, and the store would run out quickly.

I don't remember when the last Slurpee ride was, it's been quite a few years, but I saw a headline yesterday that it wasn't happening this year - social distance precautions and all that.
I used to think it was kind of strange the way people would flock to 7-11 for 7.11 ounces of free Slurpee, but I guess it was a big enough deal to make its cancellation a news story.
In other COVID news (as if you don't have enough), I came across this graphic today.

Honestly, I didn't dig around to verify the data behind the graphic, but if it's true... time to build a moat, Colorado?
Keep washin' yo hands!

OW, that map needs a bandaid . And didn't we KNOW this would happen?
I can honestly attest to the fact that I have never had a slurpie. My friends sort of liked them - experienced severe brain freeze, and that was kind of like getting high back then.
Linda Sue, never had a Slurpee? Congratulations!
Actually, I've never gotten one for myself. Only the kids would get them, but I did bum a few tastes. Your friends are correct - Worst. Brain Freeze. Ever.
A lot of red on that map.
I have never had a slurpee. What am I missing?
That map is seriously scary. We are yellow.....not good but those red states are closing in on us. I think from the map I need to go to Hawaii.
Peggy, another Slurpee virgin! It's a lot of finely crunched ice with a bit of sugary beverage - bait to get the kids to go for a bike ride with me.
I think I could handle quarantining in Hawaii.
