Convenience Stores

Being able to travel, you take for granted that every convenience store is a '7-11', because that is what we have in this area.

When I first started working in the South, we would be on the way to the heliport and they would ask "does anyone need to stop at the race track?" - well no, we are going to work. I was thinking this was some type of horse racing track. It's not, it is the name of the convenience stores in the area.

Last week I was in Springfield Missouri, guess what their convenience stores are called.....
Yep, that is it..... Kum & Go
I stopped to take a picture, but the camera was out of batteries. I went inside and next to where they sell the batteries were the hats that said "Kum & Go"... who cant live without that? I picked up a hat, went to the counter. Hats are buy one get one free - wow!!! My kinda deal, so why not?
Got batteries, pictures and two hats - what a deal!

7-5-2009


Notice anything exceptional about today's date? It's July 5, 2009 (05/07/09) -- and three consecutive odd numbers make up the date only five times in a century.
