I used to go to this famous establishment 25 years ago. It closed and as many know, they re-opened and are trying to re-create the old popular place.

So, I was in Metairie on Wednesday and decided to check it out.

As before, a short, basic menu of the 8oz Filet, the Filet po-boy, grilled fish, BBQ shrimp and a couple of other things. I got the house special, the Filet Mignon with Crazy potatoes and as an appetizer, the BBQ shrimp.

Unfortunately, the potatoes were the best part of the meal. The steak was a low end cut that seemed more like a sirloin than a filet mignon. The shrimp were over cooked, probably by being placed in the almost boiling hot sauce and were almost impossible to peel. The sauce was a bit overpowering, but I know lots of people like it.

The service was fine, but he was obviously inexperienced and overwhelmed.

Overall, it’s about a 6.0 out of 10.

Jealousy is not a trait you want to have controlling you life. The Boomer generation had lots of things to overcome, just as the current generations do.

All of the things you mentioned, this older generation already did, and it payed off.

Maybe one day it could for you if you change your attitude.

The RoundUp 360 is pretty good. Sometimes hard to find.

In my day, a shouting match and a fistfight might happen, now it’s death by stabbing.

A good rule of thumb is to take the 10 year and add 2%, and that's what you can usually get a 30 year mortgage for.

At the same time that the Democrats are crying that tariffs are like a tax, every one of them voted no in the House 2 weeks ago to theTrump tax plan and extension.

In reality they should love tariffs, because they love taxes.

Make him use a vacation day if he has any. It's not a sick day, so I would not allow that. If he has not vacation time, don't pay him for that day and tell him that situations like this cannot happen again.

Long ago, in a land far, far away, a receptacle was invented and was named a “garbage can”. I keep mine near my pool that I line with those large contractor garbage barges from Home Depot. It’s one of those heavy duty Rubbermaid “Brute” types with a lid, cost $31 at Home Depot.

I also this it does not make much sense:

1) if we want military bases there, I’m sure we can negotiate leases to do so.

2) we cannot afford it, we are trying to cut spending.

3) we will have to support the people who live there because they will expect a standard of living as being part of the USA.

4) we want to dump Puerto Rico because they take from us with little in return, so why do another similar situation.

5) being part of Denmark, I’m sure those people are ultra liberal, we don’t need more of the (same with Canada).

6) regarding minerals, that’s a sham. We have all of the rare earth minerals we will ever need right now in the USA, but the environmental kooks will not allow us to get them.
