In the morning we drove over to Oxnard to ship two more boxes of recently donated American football gear to the Guadalajara Stings located in the suburbs of Madrid.
The boxes contained 16 helmets and 11 pairs of Nike football cleats that were donated to the Stings by four local schools in Ventura County.
Mission accomplished, we remembered that it was: A. Taco Tuesday and that, B. we were in Oxnard which has dozens of great Mexican restaurants for us to choose from for our dining needs.
We wanted to try a new place, so we accessed our Yelp app to find a highly rated spot only a few minutes away.
Specializing in Birria Tacos
Birria is goat meat
A Day of the Dead homage
is always a good sign
I believe that good Mexican restaurants need a good layer of properly grime in order to serve quality tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc.
This spot was new, freshly painted and squeaky clean.
I was skeptical to say the least.

Laurie's Birria Bowl looked delicious
My Birria Tacos looked good and
tasted even better
If they tasted this good now, think of what they'll be like after four or five more years of built up muck add to the decor and cuisine.
You and me
Eating tacos
I don't know, think about it!
It is a most happy thought with Laurie in the picture.
On to EuroBall . . .
Our old youth club in Sweden, the
Wäsby Warriors are getting ready to play
Based in Upplands-Väsby, a suburb of Stockholm, the Warriors will face seven opponents in 2024.
Games against the Carlstad Crusaders, A.I.K., Kristianstad Predators, H.H. Maniacs, Stockholm Mean Machine, Täby Flyers and Tyresö Royal Crowns will all be challenging to be sure.
Spain's Guadalajara Stings will play on
Sunday against the Tres Cantos Jabatos
Madrid Toros vs. Hamburg Sea Devils
in Šibenik, Croatia
The European League of Football is playing this "International Game" on August 24th.
That "International Game" tag is being used I believe because Croatia does not have an ELF team.
I have a little trouble with that tag given that the ELF already has 17 clubs from the countries of Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain and Switzerland already playing international games every weekend.
The City Crest of Šibenik, Croatia alone
kind of makes me want to go to the game

The University of Washington Huskies
100+ years before the Transfer Portal
A Seattle iconic dining spot
Was there anything better than one of their 12 egg omelets over a Mt. Rainier sized mound of endless hash browns at 2:00 a.m. on a Saturday?
Tacoma's Stadium H.S. football field
The next time that I head to Seattle for a Huskies' game I'm going to make it a point to see a game here on Friday night.
The next Taco Tuesday is now only a week away.
