Today was a good day because it started with an ICEE. Sadly, Washington State, I have no need for you anymore, so we’re breaking up.
ICEE is basically a slurpy that is super-duper foaming… I think the science behind it has something to do with carbonating a frozen drink?
Growing up, I could never find any in the sprawl of Coquitlam, but whenever I would venture into Washington State I would have to take a stop at an AM/PM to get one. Seriously… I’d go out of my way during a gas or rest stop to make sure it had an AM/PM attached. mmm blue or red?
One of my highlights of Bumbershoot many moons ago was wandering the grounds and finding an ICEE machine. It was late late late in the day, dark and not hot. had to have one. Bought the biggest one in fact!
Today I walked to the Zone. Very nice morning and I was thirsty so I stopped into the convenience store at Dominion and Craigflower for a vitamin water or something equally expensive when I spotted it. An ICEE machine mere blocks from my home! WOW. So 10AM, large ICEE in hand… off to the Zone I skipped.
And now I will never need to visit Washington State again.
Go with yourself.
The Morning After
