‘a day without sunshine is like, you know, night.’-steve martin

Posted on March 20, 2026 by beth

it’s official, the astronomical start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere (vernal equinox) occurs today, March 20, at 10:46 a.m. EDT. At this moment, the sun crosses the celestial equator, providing nearly equal amounts of day and night across the globe. -Farmers’ Almanac

Just in time, La Croix has a SUNSHINE flavor of sparkling water. Can anyone tell me what sunshine might taste like? Here’s what La Croix has to say about it, but I’m not sure it’s really any clearer.

LaCroix Launches Sunshine . . . “The Deliciously Fascinating Taste of WONDER! A refreshing, guilt-free drink that captures the warmth, joy, and sparkle of a ray of sunshine. It’s bright, the essence of a sun-kissed day in every sip.”

Hmmm… still not sure what that taste might be, anyone have an idea?

happy international hot chocolate day!

time to cozy up with your favorite mug for a day that’s devoted to the delicious chocolate beverage

ancient Mayans drank chocolate made from crushed cocoa seeds mixed in water in 500 BC

they knew a good thing.

“watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate,

lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can’t put your feet on,

never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline,

don’t overlook life’s small joys while searching for the big ones.”

7-ELEVEN HAD TO MANDATE CUSTOMERS NOT FILL TOILET BOWLS OR KIDDIE POOLS WITH SLURPEES.

3 Ways Your Dog Asks

For Help

Dr Marty

For nearly a century, popular convenience store chain 7-eleven has been quenching consumer thirsts with Slurpees, and other refreshments. (It got the name 7-Eleven owing to its original operating hours—from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.—starting in 1946.)

With success comes the occasional hiccup, and not just from one too many Slurpees. As the world once again celebrated Slurpee 7-Eleven Day on July 11, it was not without some historical issues. Beginning in 2015, on this special day, 7-Eleven offered to fill up containers brought in by customers for just $1.50. The problem? Some decided to drag in kiddie pools, toilet bowls, and sleds to game the system. The following year, the store mandated that any container had to fit in a 10-inch cutout set up in stores.

p.s. for some inexplicable reason, the detroit market is the Slurpee capital of our nation
