Woman allegedly beaten with frozen armadillo
Good thing it wasn't a frozen javalina or she could have been killed!Below is my favorite resipe for this tasty critter in case you happen to "run" across one either at the grocery store or on the highway. Just be sure to keep those rubber gloves on while cleaning them and don't forget to cook the daylights out of them to avoid mycobacterial leprosy. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, yummy!
Directions:
Mix all ingredients of marinade and add armadillo. Marinate about 8 hrs., turning meat occasionally. Remove armadillo and reserve marinade.
Melt butter in deep skillet and brown armadillo pieces. Pour in marinade and bring to a boil. Stir in seasoning, cover and simmer until tender (about 1 - 1 1/4 hours.) Remove skillet from the fire and place armadillo pieces on a warmed platter.
Mix mustard and cornstarch, then mix in cream. Return skillet to low heat and stir in this mixture a little at a time. Stir sauce until hot, but not boiling, and thickened. Pour sauce over armadillo. Serve with steamed rice.

Firebird Raceway NHRA Nationals 2011
I have made my annual pilgrimage to Firebird for the drag races. I was surprised that it was switched this year to October. It hit 100 degrees so there were no really fast runs due to track temperatures but there were a lot of completed runs. It was a great, if hot, day! I like to roam the pits for a little it in the morning. No telling who might be around.
A few videos are here for your viewing entertainment. The little camera does not do justice on the sound portion. I think that the camera shake is just the ground pounding vibration of top fuel. It couldn't be me.
One must get the morning wafting of nitro-methane to energize the day!
Yes ladies, there are pink dragsters.
Self explanatory.
Wonder if those heads will fit the Bronco?
We counted 8 trailers for Force Racing.
The Sarge.
And they're off!
