That “little church” in Chackbay. Today just a pile of wood remains as the church collapsed some time ago.

After coating the fish with corn meal or whatever you use, be sure to let it rest for at least 5 minutes before dropping in hot grease. Do not go directly from coating to hot oil. Letting it rest allows the meal to adhere to the fish. This tip is in Frank Davis’ seafood cookbooks.

I have in my possession a New Orleans Jazz workout sweatshirt made by Russell Mills, Inc, a division of Russell Athletics that is supposed to have been issued to and worn by Pete Maravich. It is gold in color and the Jazz emblem and basketball are in purple with a number 7 in the middle of the basketball.

When the Jazz were in New Orleans, they would practice in the Tulane gym. The athletic trainer for Tulane would attend their practices. One day, Pistol Pete took off this sweatshirt and put it in the gym bleachers. After practice, he left the gym without the sweatshirt. The athletic trainer saw it, picked it up and kept it.

After the trainer left Tulane, he began working at Nicholls State and him and I became good friends. He gave me the sweatshirt and told me how he obtained it. His story is all I have to go on.

He had connections all across the country. Once got me a pair of NIKE high top football artificial turf shoes from the Minnesota Vikings. They were white with purple swoosh and the label shows they were made in USA. Don’t see that much anymore.

I was also charged double ($140) for 2 books of NCAA tickets. Should be $70 according to my confirmation email dated February 20th. Just got off of the phone with LSU ticket office. I was double charged and they said they will issue a refund back to my credit card. Hopefully they get it right.

Sent an email to Rep Jerome Zeringue last week about this very issue. Even brought up the possibility of splitting area 9 into 2 separate areas with the Mississippi River being the dividing line since opening of the spillway does not flood the West Bank of the area. Not sure they will consider it but worth a try. If they won’t allow us to be like the other areas, how about making the either sex tag legal throughout the legal hunting season to at least give the hunter who can’t hunt on doe days a chance to at least harvest one doe. Write, call or email your state representative or senator. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Talk around Thibodaux amongst his former biddy basketball coaches is that he is partially blind in one eye. Might have something to do with taking his eye off of the ball.

Back in the day, before concealed carry permits were a thing, a patron at a local festival was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. At his scheduled court hearing, the judge asked the arresting police officer how did he know the accused was carrying a concealed weapon. The police officer replied that he saw the outline of the pistol in his back pocket and from that could tell the accused had a pistol in his back pocket. Judge ruled that since the police officer could tell that the accused was carrying a pistol then the pistol was not concealed. Charges dropped, case dismissed. True story.

You really shouldn’t feel any pain. Had a root canal done last year due to an abscess and it wasn’t bad. The Endodontist who did the procedure eased my fears when he said that the nerves were already dead so I would not feel any pain. Sure enough, nothing. Felt pressure from the drilling but no pain.
