A neighbor told me he moved out of a house he owned and decided to rent it. His tenant was a nurse, and she was great for a few years. Then the grass got tall, rent was often late, then rent was not paid at all.
Nurse had gone bipolar. When he tried to evict her, she filed a bunch of legal junk claiming it was her house, etc. Total expensive nightmare that started off as a sweet dream. He said there was no way he would ever be a landlord again.

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is great if you like art museums. When we went a couple years ago, you could do the audio tour with your phone and earbuds. It was really good and highlighted things I would have missed, especially because items are not labelled. It was one of my favorite museum visits.
Watch the Netflix series on the heist from ISG. When you visit, you can see the empty spots on the walls from where paintings were stolen.
Museum of Fine Arts was great, but kids might not like it so much. We enjoyed the JFK Presidential Library, but again kids may not care so much for that.
Harvard is a decent trip. We went on a Saturday in summer, when I assumed it would be dead, but it was crawling with tourists from all over the world. Walk around campus, hit the Coop bookstore and some of the local shops.
The Druid, an Irish bar in Cambridge, was a good tip from a local at a Harvard area bar. We stopped there on the way back to town for fish and chips, shepherds pie, and live music.
All the Freedom Trail spots are good. Kids might get bored, but I spent a lot of time reading the exhibits and such inside the Old State House, Old South Meeting House, etc.
USS Constitution and USS Cassin Young (WWII destroyer) are good tours, and there is a kids focused museum there.

The regular laws on assault, battery, etc. are fine and allow a judge flexibility in sentencing to take into consideration a vulnerable victim, etc.
The legislature nonetheless insists on cluttering the books with all these special versions that don't really accomplish a damned thing but provide a basis for a press release.
The theft law is another good example. When the legislature enacted the modern criminal code it replaced a bunch of theft laws with one law that covered stealing "anything of value" to clean up the books. Then the same legislature spent the next decades re-cluttering the books with special statutes on theft of crawfish, theft of dogs, theft of domesticated fish, etc. All unnecessary.

Was in a long term relationship when young that I started feeling was not going to last. She apparently did too, and one day she gave a big talk about having different values, etc. (true) and said she was leaving (she still had her own place).
She packed up and left. It was painful, but also a relief. I was sitting there thinking about how she did what I wasn't brave enough to do, but thank goodness she did it, when she stormed back in 30 minutes later with, "You were just going to let me go!" I said, "I did let you go! It's over." More drama and questions like, "You're obviously okay with this, so when did you start to think that way?" I did not care to psychoanalyze it; the shite was done, just like she asked for.
It was like she was simultaneously (a) mad that I had not broken up with her earlier if I was content for it to end and (b) mad that I didn't run out of the house and beg her to reconsider. She eventually left for good.
:lol:

The produce place where I grew up sold a few of them. The buyers were mainly older black women. Recipes all involved lots of sugar.

Cotile/Gardner area
I have some family that have lived many years in the Wilda community on Cotile, which is near you. They seem to like it, and it has been nice and quiet on my visits.
Tasting Room of Louisiana is across the street from The Bentley. Cool place with food and claims the biggest selection of whiskey in Cenla.
I've stayed at The Bentley a couple times for work, and its bar (The Mirror Room) is a nice, dark place with plenty of seating. It's actually one of my favorite hotel bars.

Tetanus is also making a big comeback due to reduced vaccinations. A few have died, many hospitalized.
A couple of kids were injured enough to require medical care. Tetanus shot was offered, parents turned it down, kids got tetanus.

Was she using a fork? Or just grabbing it barehanded?

I’ve helped my mother buy a couple of cars from Lexus. Told the guy up front we didn’t want any of the stuff. He said that’s fine, but I have to go over it with you. He zipped through it with no pressure. Very pleasant.
But my last Toyota purchase, the guy was like, “Next is the silver package.” I said, “We don’t want it.” He, almost crying, “But I haven’t even told you how much it costs!” :lol: I said I didn’t want any of it at any price. He sulked his way through the rest of it.
Found this on Facebook. Can’t vouch for it.

Arrow Pest Service guy did a video about this. He used the pellet version of dunks. I plan to do it, but I need to find a small container or two that is not offensively colored.

A few months ago, I saw a clip from Gomer and wondered who that actor was, since I recognized his face from a number of shows. Looked him up and was shocked to see he was still kicking.
Saw an article that said he was the last surviving cast member.

I was thinking of getting him some kind of snubbed shotgun or whatever you call it.
Are you talking about products like the Mossberg Shockwave or Remington TAC-14?
To those concerned about legality, these are perfectly legal even though the barrel is less than 18 inches. They get through the law because they are not a “shotgun” because they are not fired from the shoulder. They are just a “firearm” under the law. Being over 26 inches overall dodges another law.
I’ve never fired one, so I’m not sure how effective they are for self defense. It would probably be in the truck when you needed it at the boat ramp.

I watched the Wheels highlights on YouTube of most of the big games in the regionals and all the super regional games. There have been some damn good ones.
Today, I’ve had the CWS games on in the background.

Give us a trip report when you’re done. I’m making my maiden voyage there this summer.

Getting a proven superstar back is way bigger to me than any portal pickup, short of an Skenes level starting pitcher.
Shocks me, but I’m loving this news.

Phil will always be welcome at Mar-a-Lago.
One of those machines was in the outside covered walkway of a local motel. Any kid old enough to ride a bike, and who had two quarters, could roll to town and get himself a pack of Marlboro, Kool, Camel, Lucky Strikes, etc. We tried them all before settling on Marlboros.
A convenience store across the street from the motel would sell a pack of cigs and a box of matches for 52 cents to an infant if they asked for them and had the coins. Skoal, Red Man, etc. was sold to kids without question by every store in town.
For 9th graders and up, a signed note from a parent got you a smoking permit for designated areas at school. The main use of the tennis courts was smoking up a storm at recess.

Young white gal. She was flabbergasted that I politely said "no, thanks" when she asked if I wanted to add a dollar for Wounded Warrior or some similar military charity.
It must have been her first day with the program to be so surprised. I have to believe others who go in that store, corner of Bert Kouns and Youree in Shreveport, would also decline.
