At least she’s paying her own airfare (unlike Landry, who took a charter Air France flight yesterday, surely on the state’s dime or some donor). She stayed in NOLA a bit longer, in part to attend an announcement of a software company relocating HQ from Chicago to NO.

This is in front of the Crowne Plaza where we’re staying, at the Place of the Republic. Mostly peaceful I’m sure.

If nothing else, Rams will save on food and jet fuel costs.

We all remember the Ditka era.

He had a house in English Turn and occasionally ate at a BBQ place in Algiers where one of my cousins worked. He said he was just a regular dude (and tipped well).

My first stint as a season ticket holder was in that era. A friend and I would sometimes bring our boys - they could stretch out across multiple seats in the terrace at the Dome and take a nap.

RIP Coach.

I wonder why they're starting with commercial policies instead of residential.

Litigation may have something to do with it. I asked AI whether residential insureds tend to sue at a higher rate than commercial insureds. Response:
quote:

Yes, residential homeowner policyholders tend to sue their insurance companies at a significantly higher rate than commercial property insureds.

While exact numbers fluctuate by state and year, historical litigation data—particularly in catastrophe-prone states like Florida and Louisiana—consistently shows that residential property insurance disputes lead to court far more frequently than commercial ones.

A friend who is my age had married a Navy guy. He was at our wedding in his dress blues a few years prior, and we soon found out he was among those killed at the Pentagon. Felt like a second gut punch after getting over the initial shock.

Update - My friend who lost her husband at the Pentagon reposted this today - from LSU's facebook page, a display at LSU's Brookshire Military Museum:

quote:

At just 7 years old, Michael “Scott” Lamana drew a picture of his family beneath an airplane marked with the number 77, a tribute to the famed Flying Tigers aircraft that had captured his imagination. Years later, that number would take on a heartbreaking meaning. On Sept. 11, 2001, the Baton Rouge native and U.S. Navy lieutenant was working inside the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 struck the building. He was 31 years old. Twenty-five years later, a special exhibit at the LSU William A. Brookshire Military Museum honors Scott’s life, his service and the deeply personal story behind the number 77.

Never ever forget.

I was driving to work in downtown NOLA with WWL on the radio and they mentioned a small plane had crashed into one of the twin towers. What are the chances, I thought.

We had an early meeting to discuss a marketing pitch to Hibernia Bank. The conference room had a big TV on a cart and someone came in and said to turn it on. By that time the second plane had hit, and we looked out the windows for planes (we were on the top floor of a high rise). We soon called it a day and I don’t remember much after that. I know the Hibernia pitch never happened.

Being newly back on campus I’ll cut them some slack and treat that one as a preseason banner. They’ve built up some goodwill over the years.

2019 Reveille article is a walk down memory lane.

So impressed with this staff's ability to vet players

They mentioned formal character evaluation during the game broadcast as one of three parts of the portal transfer process, with some candidates shocked to hear a "thanks but no thanks" as they were sent on their way.

I think in the Monday press conference Lane said his goal is to combine the discipline and organization of Saban teams with the "fun" of his days at USC. He seems to have found the magic recipe.
I forgot how heavy the funk was in this one.
