Off-Subject: Second Sutler Store Day

Definitely a bit off-topic as they didn't have convenience stores back in the 1860s, or at least none with Big Gulps and Slurpees.

Soldiers on both sides had Sutler stores at their camps and could buy little things that made their life better. These were convenient.

Today, while writing out some checks, I noticed the numbers 7-11 coming up. Hey, that's the home of the Big Gulp and Slurpee!! And, this year its double since it is 7-11-11.

Kind of snuck up on me.

And...four days ago we had another celebration that got by me (and betting you as well) 7-7-11.

Hey, all month, it's 7-11.

Let me be the First to Wish You a Happy Convenience Store Day. --Old B-R'er
