Off Topic but Relevant...Death On a Bun



I must comment to you my friends about an article in today’s Arizona rag newspaper. The article described Travel Magazine’s Top 10 hot dogs in the U.S. #7 was a Sonoran-style hot dog from El Guero Canelo right here in downtown Tucson. What is a Sonoran-style hot dog you may be asking? “Your hot dog comes wrapped in bacon and topped with beans, grilled and fresh onions, tomatoes, mayo, mustard, and jalapeno sauce.” In 2018 this Tucson hot dog won the highly-coveted James Beard Award.

There are some of you that love and devour hot dogs on a weekly basis. God bless you and keep on doing what you love. But as for me…if I took the 25-minute drive down the I-10 to El Guero Canelo and ate a Sonoran Dog…by the time I drove back home and walked into our house I would be headed straight for the toilet where I would probably remain for three days and would have to be lifted off that toilet by a sky crane, transported to bed, fed a liquid diet for a week, and finally endure another 2-weeks of recovery to learn how to walk again.

But that is just me. Below, a picture of a Sonora-Style Hot Dog. Looking at this…creature…you will quickly understand what I am talking about.

The French have a wonderful saying about food, about eating the wrong foods for your body. Here it is: “DEATH ENTERS THROUGH THE MOUTH.”

I don’t know if this Sonora-Style Hot Dog will kill you. But it will surely damn near cripple you for a bit.

UPDATE...Finally!! July 9, 2021 My main focus these days is on my new Animals Central YouTube Channel I just launched, bit.ly/animalscentral .  I just uploaded to YouTube two new Animals Description vids, Lion and Impala. I am also about to release the new and improved Infobotts podcast. I'll post it here and give you the link when ready in a few days. Infobotts started out as a daily news headline reade from Google News. But I want to hand out much more content than just reading the news. You can get from so many other sources. So, when ready and announced, tune in to the Infobotts Podcast on Apple and Google Podcasts, Spotify, and about a dozen other podcast distributors. It's just about ready to launch.  That is what is going on these days. I am busy cranking up the content train and it's coming your way. Thanks for hangin' in there with me. BFN ff

Animals

  They are in our backyard, our forests, plains, mountains, atmosphere, ocean, in our homes. We are even one of them. They are everywhere. 8.7 million species of them. They are animals, life on Planet Earth. For most of us, we know so very little about them, how they live and survive alongside us. And what this blog intends to do is educate you, young and old, about who and what they are. We will look at their lives and tell you a bit about this wonderful life on the planet. Every week, a couple of times during the week we will introduce you to the animals, fish, birds, insects, reptiles you know and some you've never heard of. Let's start with the familiar: The Red Ruffed Lemur This little guy with piercing yellow eyes is called a Red Ruffed Lemur.  It comes from the island of Madagascar which is a large island just off the continent of Africa, southeastern Africa.
