It probably isn't, but today should be National Convenience Store Day.What today is, however, is @IndustMech's birthday. Yay!
7/11 gives out free Slurpees on 7/11. Ours rebranded many years ago so I hadn't had one in ages but I stumbled on one in NYC a few years ago on this date. Total pandemonium.
Also happy belated birthday, John!

CONCORD, N.H. — A New Hampshire state lawmaker who was caught driving 107 mph in 2024 and accused of driving 92 mph on the same highway in 2025 has been making an audacious argument to avoid legal consequences for her speeding.
Ellen Read, a Democratic state representative from Newmarket running for reelection, claims the sheriff’s deputies who stopped her on Interstate 93 had no authority to detain or charge her, since the state’s Constitution says lawmakers cannot be arrested while traveling to or from the Legislature.
Court records show Read has repeatedly asserted “legislative privilege” to ask that charges stemming from the two traffic stops be dismissed on account of the office she holds. She pressed her case all the way to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, which declined in June to hear her appeal at this stage

This new venture has cost me a couple Amazon orders and added many new steps and time. Scale? Yeah right…atomizer? Yeah right…timer? Yeah right. 27 extra steps? Yeah right. Results??? IYKYK…Damn good cup of coffee 🤙🏼 Damn you @peter4jc and @Yakster
