Lamb on the Run: Time for some Uagi Nobori, or ‘Surging Eel’
By Jim Lamb
How refreshing…Time to relax during these hot summer days with a refreshing cup of eel…In Japan they sell a canned drink called “Uagi Nobori” or more familiarly “Surging Eel”…
…It goes for about $1.30 a drink and contains extracts from the head and bones of eel and five vitamins—A, B1, B2, D and E contained in the fish…
…Japanese believe eating eel boosts stamina in hot weather…
…Surging Eel is a fizzy, yellow-colored drink…Just the thing to pep you up…
…And there are two big days in Japan, July 24 and Aug. 25, traditional eel-eating days…
…And if you’d like to expand your culinary skills, eels are considered big in cookies and pies…
…So far, I haven’t found canned eel at the local supermarkets…Not that I’ve looked…
How’d you like to be police chief at Surprise, Ariz., where his gun, uniform, badge and vehicle were stolen a couple of weeks ago…
…No he didn’t misplace them…
…Someone broke into his locker at a gym in **!Surprise!** (that’s how you’re supposed to say it…
…Chief Hughes said he’d made a mental note of a guy hanging out in the locker room before the theft was discovered…
About two weeks after the theft, a State DPS lieutenant pulled over a car driven by Kevin Kern who jumped out and barricaded himself in a nearby house four hours…
…Kern accidentally broke a natural gas line and ran when the place started to burn…When he tried to run he was nabbed…**!Surprise!** cops also had a surveilance tape of him using a stolen credit card to buy gas…
This cat’s eating too many overweight mice…Late last month, people found a 44-pound white cat waddling around without a collar in Voorhees, N.J.…No he wasn’t looking for the“Kitty B Gone” slimming salon…
…The cat, temporary named “Princess Chunk” was cared for by animal shelter folks who wondered if she was despondent because she didn’t break the record of 46 pounds 15 ounces for a cat…
…Princess Chunk’s real name was Powder, and she’d been turned out when her owner lost her home during the financial crisis…
…How many mice a day would Powder need to eat to keep her weight up?”
Last Sunday, I wrote about G’ana DiSpigno of Arivaca who must live almost in darkness and with little human contact because of a radiation-caused illness…
…Since talking to her, I found a note in all my stuff from her daughter who lives in Tucson…Daughter Mistina O’Neil was worrying about the increased threat of electronic transmissions emitting from border watch towers…
…O’Neil said her mom would need a “canyon residence rental or large travel trailer” in a canyon with hookups…
… “Inexpensive or temporary medical emergency lend-lease or tax deductible donation or?”…
…She added, “Urgent. Please help save a disabled lady”…
…Mistina O’Neil’s phone number is 908-0157…G’ana’s number is 398-2692…
I guess I’ve been watching the road too much … and not the license plates …
… License plates from the state office … “JABABY” … “JAAGUAR” … “JACKDOG” … “JACKAL” … “XBOXER” … “XBUNNE” and if you’ll excuse me now, “XCUZMOI” …
Jim Lamb’s a reporter for the Green Valley News and says he’d like some help from local plate spotters…But, no, he says he won’t pay for help…jerk…
