Come On Baby, Do The Locomotion

A train sitting on the railroad tracks that cut through the middle of Apex [my fair city] has blocked three intersections this morning, police said.

The train is blocking Tingen Road, Moore Street and Chatham Street, police said. The train has been parked on the tracks since 4 a.m. and police said they don't know when the train will be moved.

When authorities contacted CSX railroad officials, they were told the train crews had reached their limit of hours, parked the train, locked it up and left, Sgt. Greg Rhodes said.

I fucking hate those train tracks. I hope someone gets his hand cut off for this.

The Cruel Shoes


I've been training for this 5K thing for the past 6 or 7 weeks. I did the first week in the Five Fingers; but after the third day, I started getting those little twinges in my calves that signal an impending muscle strain. So, I bought some traditional running shoes: Mizuno Wave Riders and wore them for the next six weeks. But, as the distances increased, I started getting serious pain in my knees, hips and lower back. It would start as soon as I started a run and last the rest of the day - at least. Something was not right.

Am I too old for this? Did I forget how to run? Am I going too far too fast?

Then I remembered: I've run in Mizuno's before. And I stopped using them because of... knee pain.

So, I bought a new pair of Asics Cumulus, a shoe I've used for many years, in the past. Did my three miles in them last night. No pain at all.

Which is not to say Asics are better than Mizunos. But they are clearly better for me. And, if you're trying to run, but finding it hurts too much, try different shoes. It could be that simple.

Bone Sucking Grouper

Wife's gone and left me (for the weekend). so, I stirred up a big batcha my favoritest thing to do with a grouper: put BBQ sauce on it! like this:

take my pretty grouper, chop him into bite-sized pieces (mind they'll shrink a little in cookin, so i don't cut too small).

roll him in some store-bought seafood breader

heat a big non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat, and splash in enough veggie oil to thinly cover its bottom

gentlelike, put mr fish in the pan and then cook him fer a few minutes, until the breading gets nice and delicious brown, deep gold. then flip im around and give another few. get all the brown on him that he'll take but don't get crazy and overcook im.

and as soon as that last brownin's done, turn the heat down low, grab mah jar a Bone Suckin Sauce and drizzl over just enough to coat the topside of mr grouper

now let that sizzle for just a few seconds. like 20. this sauce is sweet and will turn into hard black shit jusslikedat! so don't let him burn!. fer fuck's sake! don't let him burn!

and then just give it a little stir. soft like so ah don't smash the pretty fishes up. just get some of that little-bit-darker-now sauce all over.

put it next to something else that's delicious. let em make pretty babies in mah belly!

that's it! takes like 10 minutes, all the way through. can't even get a beer down, it's so quick.

i don't know if any other BBQ sauce would work. Bone Suckin Sauce is not a smoky 'western-style' BBQ sauce, it's a sweetish tomato-based BBQ sauce. but not sweet-n-sour, like some can be. it's awesome though. get it if you can. the 'hot' flavor is even better.
