But old boy acted like you should be wearing a mask on a park bench alone if you were sick.

How did he act like that? Did he say that?

LSU’s own General Sherman at no. 6, and LSU can’t even name a dorm or street for him. Sad.

We have always kept our vehicles 10 years, then traded for a new model.

But my Toyota Avalon is now 10 and, due to reduced mileage during Covid and working from home more, it has less than 80k miles. It’s in perfect condition, so I just can’t justify trading or selling it. Gonna let this one keep rolling for at least 3 or so more years. Huge money saver.

The show lost me when it became clear that people who turned into zombies would decay normally as if they were dead... but only to a certain point, that point being, "the point at which they look the zombie-est."

---

None of the zombies died naked or in their pajamas, except a few hospital patients. All others died fully clothed or wearing work uniforms. And the zombies' clothes lasted forever.

The bullet shortage was always dumb to me. If 90+% of the people on earth died, the ones who were left alive could find a lifetime supply of guns and ammo in my neighborhood, not to mention in sporting goods stores, military posts, police stations, etc.

My firearm of choice would have been a Ruger 10/22 semiauto .22 rifle with plenty of mags. Light weapon and ammo, with high capacity for popping zombie noggins quickly. I'd also have a nice broom-handle shaped piece of hickory with a sharpened nail on the end. Poke, poke, poke in their heads, going in and out easily.

But my biggest issue: Who was mowing the shoulders/ditches along the highways and all the yards and pastures? That shite would be overgrown to thickets in a year or two.

It’s amazing how far the crawfish demand has spread.

Hot Springs, AR has a crawfish festival. I’ve seen a crawfish truck on Hwy 71 north of Mena.

A Louisiana themed place in Gladewater, Texas was selling them boiled for $8 a pound between Christmas and NYD. Folks were tearing them up.

Tia Juanitas. Pretty popular in SeTx.

We ate at the Tia Juanita's Fish Camp location in Longview, TX, and it was pretty good. We had gumbo, oyster po-boy and fries, and a fried shrimp dish. No complaints, and the service was good too.

It was pretty busy on a weekday at lunch, but it was set up for even bigger crowds. Big space with a huge parking lot. Reviews made it sound like they are filling it up on weekends.

. It seemed very wierd that a guy in great shape as him would die so suddenly out the blue with no warning signs

---

I’ve personally known 6 men who, between age 30 and 55 and apparently healthy and of decent weight, dropped dead of a heart attack. One guy was on the treadmill getting in his usual workout. A 7th guy I knew was overweight but athletic and played a lot of amateur sports; dropped dead. An 8th was 31 and fit; collapsed with a blocked artery, but he survived after bypass surgery.

Every one of those was years before we ever heard of Covid or vax. It happens.

Don't dilly if you want to buy the Klipsch.

It's been reported that the roof of their original building in the Hope, AR facility caved in due to ice accumulation. Article says 60 people work in that building. Roof Collapses at Klipsch Manufacturing Plant Due to Ice Buildup

That might lead to some supply issues.

In 1988, a Pitre kid was sledding at LA Tech and ended up paralyzed after going down hill head first and hitting the concrete base around a light pole. Sued the school and lost in LA Supreme Court.
