Free Slurpee Day!

In honor of 7-11 (July 11th) 7-Eleven is giving out free Slurpees.  The kids are big fans of Slurpees, myself, not so much.  But I love free stuff so we’ll definitely be getting our beverages from 7-Eleven that day.

To get your free slurpee just visit participating 7-Eleven stores and you too can have your very own brain freeze for nothing!

This Amazes Me

I saw this video on our local newspaper’s website that caught a hit and run in our state’s capitol.  I’m amazed at the people who keep driving by and the hesitation of the bystanders to go over to see the victim.  He’s 78 years old, apparently ran out of milk for his coffee and went to the store across the street to buy some, then this happened.  Now he is paralyzed from the neck down.  Police are still trying to find the person driving the car that hit him.  The car that hit him was pursuing the car in front of him, they had just run a red light before hitting the man.  Read more at Courant.com

R.I.P. Harvey Korman

Actor Harvey Korman died today.  He was 81, Mr. Korman suffered from a rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago.  He’s known best for being on the Carol Burnett show but I liked him best in Blazing Saddles as “Hedley Lamarr”.  He was also great in History of the World, Part I as “Count DeMonet”  or as his people called him “Count de money”.
