A sinkhole has sprung up in Tom Lee Park, and repairing it will require more effort than first thought. Water has washed away a large area around a box culvert that runs underneath the park. The city will have to build a temporary road in the park to bring in materials to repair the hole. Thank goodness this didn’t happen in the weeks before BBQ Fest. More details here<\/a>. Sorry for linking to an Indiana newspaper rather than something local, but I try to circumvent the CA’s stupid-ass paywall whenever I can.<\/p>\n

I tried something new at City Market yesterday: Okra Masala from their refrigerated case. It’s a generous amount of okra and potatoes in Indian masala curry sauce. It’s only $2.99. If you’re not sure whether you like Indian food, it’s a good way to find out without spending a lot of money. Heats up in about 2 minutes in the microwave. If you like it, their meat dishes have a similar taste and are less expensive than going out to a restaurant.<\/p>\n

Last night while drinking beer at the Saucer, I came up for an idea for a charity month for my blog, to run from Thanksgiving to Christmas. I need to research a few things but details will be coming soon. It’s an idea that has “me” written all over it (no, tube tops are not involved). Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

Plans for today: Skipping brunch at the Majestic because of crowds from the Broadway show at the Orpheum. I’ll start at the Blind Bear at noon, then sometime around 2 head south to the parking lot party at the Double J. At 6:30 I’ll be back at the Bear for poker hosted by Michael Bean – not only because I like playing poker, but because it’s an excuse not to stay at the J for karaoke. At some point I’ve got to fit in a visit to the Saucer for my 116th day in a row. Probably I’ll do that before poker.<\/p>\n

Come on out to the Double J this afternoon. Eat, drink, be merry, and raise money for the Streetdog Foundation. I mean, what else are you going to do, hang out at the Horn Lake Chuck E. Cheese all day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
