Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Trudi and I made a post office run yesterday,
and dropped off three boxes, one bag and a
double arm load of the first issue of the new
quarterly Dinosaur Files. That's on top of all
the issues we shipped on Friday and Saturday.
So if you ordered a copy of the new Dinosaur
Files, be looking for it soon. If not, go here
to grab a copy -- and we'll shoot it right on
out to you:

In related news, Knife, Fork, Muscle was printed
on Friday, and shipped to us on Monday -- in two
different shipments. At least one of them is
arriving today, so we'll start filling the Knife,
Fork Muscle orders TODAY - beginning with
the first Dinos who reserved a copy of the
little monster!
To everyone who reserved a copy of Knife, Fork,
Muscle, THANK YOU -- and if you still need to
grab a copy of the little monster, time's a
wasting:

After we made the post office run, we swung over
to The Root Cellar to load up on some fresh veggies.
We figured we should stock up on food because
we're going to be way too busy filling orders to do
any hunting, gathering, or provisioning for the next
couple of days. Maybe even the next week.
The Roor Cellar is a very cool Place. I talk about in
Knife, Fork, Muscle. It's a small, old-fashioned grocery
store. Just one room -- wooden shelves -- one small
freezer for the perishables -- and it's stocked entirely
with locally grown, locally raised, locally sourced foods.
It has fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables from local
farmer's and growers -- locally raised free-range beef,
pastured pork and free-rangeeggs -- milk and cheese
from a local dairy -- free-range chicken, duck, and
(of course) turkey. Plus local honey, local butter, and
local flour.
And that's it. Nothing else.
It's sort of a small farmer's market, except it's
indoors and the farmers aren't there.
But the food is! And it was all fresh and healthy,
crisp, and beautiful looking.
We grabbed some fresh organic carrots, garlic,
onions, sweet potatoes, white sweet potatoes,
bok choy, leeks, and tomatoes. The leeks were
so big and beautiful they looked like a huge
bouquet of flowers.
Trudi even found a big jar of tomato sauce
made at a local farm, and promptyly nabbed
it. She's been looking for something like that
for awhile, so between that and the bouquet
of leeks, she was one happy girl.
We talked a bit with the owner, Ron. He's going to
sell Knife, Fork, Muscle at the store. That makes
sense. It's a local store, and I'm a local author --
and I talk a lot about the importance of local
food in the book.
And if you think that's hippy stuff -- or that eating
fresh, locally sourced food is for foodies driving
BMW's to the big box "organic food" store, then
consider this.
The little grocery has a huge following among
athletes at the University of Louisville.
Meaning that the top athletes in town -- NCAA
Division One athletes in a top sports program --
including some Olympic athletes -- believe that
fresh, local food is so important that they skip
the free food at the University Training Tables
and go over to a little neighborhood grocery
store to stock up on REAL food.
That speaks volumes.
And don't forget this. The simple, local foods
we buy at The Root Cellar are EXACTLY the kind
of foods that Grimek and Stanko lived and grew
on back in the day -- and The Root Cellar is
exactly the kind of place where they bought
their food.
In other words, when you eat fresh, locally
sourced food, you eat the way that Grimek
and Stanko ate -- and the way that all of the
Golden Age champions ate.
Anyhow, if you live in Louisville, stop by The
Root Cellar. And if you live elsewhere, find your
own source of fresh, local food. It's one of the
keys to lifelong strength and health.
As always, thanks for reading and have a great
day. If you train today, make it a good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
