Meat
This batman digital camera sure is cheap. I have played with some cheap digital cameras in my time.. in fact I like some of them. They are just neat toys to play with if you do not kid yourself about the quality. But this cheap little batman camera just takes the cake. It’s not just the bad pictures; it’s the whole camera operation. I took a couple of pics with it last night, however I accidentally plugged in the wrong cable and as a result lost the Images. Grr.
Apparently there was a really nasty accident on I4 yesterday. I was caught in the traffic for a little while. I was confused because usually when there is an accident your car eventually passes it and then you can just sort of rubberneck a little before you drive on. Last night they were routing traffic off of I-4 long before you saw any sign of the accident. Turns out it was a particularly horrible one. Some guy flipped his SUV 12 times, got ejected from it like a missile, slammed into another car and then got ripped in half. Yes, in half, as in all over the road. I’m pretty glad I did not see that.

I swear I am going to start calling that stretch if I-4 the ‘meat grinder’. Just a couple of months ago some guy threw himself off a bridge into traffic. It was early in the morning and dark out and people just kept driving over the body until there was nothing left but a few chunks and a smear. That part of the road must be built on cursed Indian land.
Speaking of raw meat, I finally tried that steakhouse out in Sanford. Its once of those places I have driven by for years to the point I can’t even remember it’s name. It turned out to be great. Not a fancy place, just a run of the mill yea old redneck steak house. Potatoes and a big ol’ slab of meat. My steak was done to perfection, I could not complain at all. There was even a cheerful statue of a three-foot miner fourty-niner in the room.
The steak house has one of those gluttony deals where if you buy some massive 31 ounce steak and eat it under an hour, it’s free. They have a wall covered with photos of the people who have done it. I wandered over and peeked and I was not surprised at all to see it was mainly skinny people who had done it. Skinny people have more flex to their stomach or something. Like that little Laotin guy who wins hot dog eating contests.
The deal at this place is you have to call ahead of time, give a 20-dollar deposit and you have one hour and 15 minutes to eat it. If you finish it (and a salad and a potato) it’s free, if you do not its $45. I am going to have to chalk that up on my ‘List of stupid things I have not done yet, but probably am going to’. I would have to fast for 2 days ahead of times, except for gruel or some something else that passes through your system fairly quick, and when I go I would have to wear sweatpants. Expandable you know. Beforehand I would have to do some sort of isometric stomach-stretching exercises. I might have to consult some pregnant women.
