It's so enjoyable watching the Iowa vs. Nebraska game. Great ball movement by both teams.

Netflix, for the second time in a little over a year, is raising prices for its three plans in the U.S. The new pricing for Netflix’s plans were updated on its website Thursday.
quote:
Under the higher pricing, Netflix’s Standard With Ads plan will now cost $8.99/month, up $1 from $7.99 previously. The Standard plan (no ads, viewing on up to two devices simultaneously) is rising by $2, from $17.99/month to $19.99/month. And the Premium plan (no ads, streaming on up to four devices at once, Ultra HD and HDR) is likewise going up $2 — from $24.99/month to $26.99/month.

Got it.
Two people commit the same offense, but the consequences depend on their income. That’s the version of “equity” being applied in Los Angeles.
quote:
Los Angeles is launching a 5-year pilot program to install 125 automated speed cameras at high-risk, high-injury, and school zones to reduce traffic fatalities, starting in 2026. Enabled by California law AB 645, the program includes a 60-day warning period before issuing automated tickets (ranging from $50–$500) to owners of vehicles speeding 11+ mph over the limit.
LADOT
Note, I am aware that these types of citations by mail (speed camera and red light camera) aren't worth the paper they are printed on, and many are not turned over to the state's DMV or a person's insurance company.

For starters:
Chipotle Shrimp
Blackened Shrimp
are great. I prefer the Blackened Shrimp as it comes with a pineapple butter rum sauce.
And their Corn and Crab Bisque is very good.
For main entrees:
Fresh Fish en Papillote (fish in parchment paper or fish in a bag)
Pontchartrain (if you like soft shell crab as well)
Tournedos (if you have someone willing to share their meal, i.e. Fish en Papillote), or this and split it to share. This may be their best dish.

One injured in shooting at Millerville Road gas station

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - One person was injured in a shooting at a gas station along Millerville Road Friday evening, according to the Baton Rouge Emergency Medical Services.
Officials say the shooting happened at a Circle K located in the 2000 block of Millerville Road.
EMS confirmed one person was transported to a hospital. Authorities have not yet released the victim’s age or any additional details at this time.
It’s unclear what led up to the shooting or if a suspect has been identified.
My guess is someone got disrespecked. And drugs.

re: Shrimp Etouffee - Cook Shrimp Separately?
Posted by Will Cover on 3/20/26 at 7:39 am to deeprig9
For etouffee, Roban, scampi, etc., I tend to pre-cook halfway -- until they turn pink, in a separate pan, pull them, and set aside.
I don't like overcooked or mushy shrimp. And they can only take on so much flavor. Once the rest of my dish is cooked, I will then add them back in to finish cooking, which usually only takes another minute or two.

The Kelly blue book is around $2500
If Kelly could make you an offer of $2,500, accept it -- because no dealership will. You may come closer to $2,500 if you sell it privately -- and if you fix the AC and replace the battery. But I imagine, you're looking at anywhere from $300 to $500 at a minimum to get these two items replaced and repaired.
If someone privately offered you $1,500, take it.

My little girl just turned two. I never imagined the connection that could be formed with a kid until it happened to me.
I have 2 daughters. We did not find out the sex of either child until each were born. After having my first daughter, and the bond I had with her, I knew that if I were fortunate enough to have another child, I wanted it to be a little girl.
My last name won't carry on, as I don't believe either of my daughters will take on the hyphented name, and that's perfectly okay with me.

What do you think the unhappiest age is?
Ages 44 to 50 were the hardest years of my life.
Job loss, lost one of my very best friends to cancer (he was 41), divorce, going from seeing my children daily to seeing them 50 % of the time, and both my mother and father passed away.
I'm not blaming those situations for how I felt. Even when things are out of my hands, I don't want to let them dictate my happiness. It’s not fair to put that responsibility on other people or outside circumstances — that’s on me.
On the other hand, ages 50 1/2 and beyond (51 now) have been great. I have a clean bill of health, two daughters I continue to have a great relationship with, incredible job where I am appreciated and admired, no debt, and a future that looks very bright for me, plus many other things that are too long to list.
It could all change in a second, but I'll always remember what I remembered before ... "every storm runs out of rain."
Maintaining perspective, and practicing gratitude have been keys to my overall redevelopment of shaping my outlook on life. I rarely get down, or get upset. Perhaps, I may have "overcorrected" but I feel like the new tools that I have in my toolbox have and will continue to serve me well, no matter what life throws at me.

My experience with Michael Paul's Natural Stone was fantastic. I'm not saying they are better than Menzie (I have no experience with them), but they are another quality fabricator that should be looked at as well.

For your plumbing needs, I recommend either Dennis Martinez (Paradigm Plumbing) or Joel Fisk (Fisk Plumbing).
For countertops, I’ll add Michael Paul’s Natural Stone. Precision work.

I havent been in well over 6 months, but there are a few dishes that they do well.
Their pork chop and steak is cooked the same way at Ruth Chris. Both are very good.
And while it's not BBQ, I do like their "grilled" ribs and sauce. It's not for everyone. And it's certainly not what you'll find in Texas.
Lastly, their smoked and flash fried wings with sauce on the side, are some of the best in the city.
