BUGS

 


I am on another social media platform and I wanted to share a recent post. I really did try these creatures.

Tour de France…….21 days of racing & snacks

The Race     

Malemort is the town this rollercoaster ride will start. 18.5 km later the verdict of the break-away will be decided in the town of Ussel. This is not a mountain route but 3.500m will be climbed.

The Snack        

Hold on to the handlebars because today’s snack is no joke. I really did eat and try this crunchy assortment of bug snacks. Before you judge; they do pack a wallop of salty protein. Ms. Goofy did refuse to try this snack. Her loss was my gain of this mix of grasshoppers, house crickets, sago worms, silk worms and field crickets. There is a difference between house and field crickets you know. To sum it up this snack did not taste like chicken. It was more of a texture thing. The sacrifices I make for you dear readers.

JOEY CHESTNUT


 This is his cathedral, the crystal dome of umbrella blue skies. Whose vaulted ceilings touch the edge of heaven itself. Whose faithful join as one. To honor those who do not falter, those who do not heal. I speak of this man, who stands of the mortal and divine. Shy of a god perhaps but more than a man. His thoughts rise at the vapor of angels but whose charge is here on earth, to teach that intention is the outcome of those who refuse any other outcome. Hold back when forsaken, stand firm when forlorn, press on when weary, beaten, broken or undone. How long will fight? I will tell you; till he stands on the ramparts of glory overlooking a sea of truth. For he is the champion of now and of always of the air, of the fire of the sea from the land of the free of one nation. The Nathan’s famous 4th of July champion of the world……..JOEY CHESTNUT 

66 dogs & buns in 10 minutes make Joey Chestnut the hot dog eating champion of 2026 and our hero.
