He said it was a cottonmouth that bit him? The snake in that picture is a copperhead
We did do financing through the dealer, but we could've done it through our credit union if we wanted to.

I have no idea about using a Costco credit card to pay for it. Using the Costco membership/car buying program just gave us a discount on the price.
We did it through Costco a few years ago and thought it was pretty easy and straightforward. They send you a list of the dealers in your area they work with. Set price, no haggling.

We looked on various websites to see what the lowest price off the sticker price dealers would usually agree to and the Costco price was comparable. Because of that, we ordered the vehicle with the specific features and colors we wanted.

But this was pre-Covid, before the new car market went nuts so I don't know how it would be now.

Is Entergy working their way down Magnolia woods?


I didn’t see any Entergy trucks working when I drove around Magnolia Woods neighborhood this afternoon, but I did see some tree guys out there cutting trees up. Magnolia Woods Dr itself has several trees down and wires hanging low. We couldn’t even get down to the pool to check out the damage because there was a tree company truck in the way.
Superior on Highland looked open when we passed by it earlier.
Verizon is working fine for me in BR, husband has AT&T and his isn’t working.

AT&T Uverse cable & internet is working fine for us.

Agree, diamond back water snake
Not sure if they have any during the week, but Heads & Tails posted on Facebook Saturday that they had some.

I'd call Tony's Seafood also, as their demand is higher and they might have some mid-week.
My question is, if she moved on and has been in another (presumabaly happy) relationship with someone else for 3 years, why the frick is she starting a post about this? Just for validation after 5 years?

(maybe I'm looking at this wrong and it was a response in another thread--I hate Reddit format)
Their Facebook page says they were open 6am-noon today, so closed now.
The PTO at my kids' elementary school used to collect them. One year we got like $1200 from them which was used to fulfill teachers' wish lists for their classrooms.

This was when you had to cut the actual box top labels off of boxes, before they went to the "scan your receipt" or whatever BS they do now. As far as I know, the school is no longer doing it because nobody wanted to scan their receipts.
This was posted 2 days ago on the Nextdoor site. I'm in 70808 with a pile of branches still sitting in my yard. I know they said on the news after the last storm that they would begin pickup the week of 10/19, but they seem to be moving very slowly.

Hurricane Delta Debris Removal Update. Neighbors,

We are steadily making progress with our debris removal operations following Hurricane Delta.

Over the past week, we have completed operations in two neighborhoods – Westminster and Pine Park – and are expanding into additional areas impacted by the storm.

We currently have crews active in the following areas: Tara, Old Goodwood, Shenandoah, Sherwood Forest, South Harrells Ferry, Jefferson and Bocage, North Sherwood, Mid City and Southdowns. In the coming week, we will expand into additional neighborhoods and areas that include Broadmoor, Lobdell, Pollard Estates, Kenilworth, Jefferson Terrace, North Foster, Glen Oaks, Oak Hills, Hoo Shoo Too, Elliot Road, Tiger Bend Road, Riverbend and the Highland Road corridor between Siegen and Interstate 10.

Fencing damaged by the storm may not be covered by FEMA for emergency debris removal. In response, Republic Services will soon begin picking up damaged fencing as part of their normal garbage collection services and operations.

Please continue to be patient with our crews as we navigate throughout these and future areas. The vegetative nature of the debris created by this storm, including scattered piles of branches and sticks, makes it time intensive for our crews and trucks to collect. All storm debris and trash should continue to be separated into piles and placed curbside for efficient collection based on the attached diagram.

Thanks as always for your understanding and assistance as we continue to work as hard as possible in our ongoing hurricane response and recovery efforts.
Kisatchie National Forest has a few good hikes.
Not surprising...her current husband seemed pretty emasculated IMO.

re: Anyone ever see coral snakes?

Yes
--Eastern Coral in Florida (never seen one of those in Louisiana though as they're very hard to find here)
--Texas Coral snakes near Kisatchie

How big was it? I have a vote for Eastern Garter snake, especially if it was over 12" long.

Letter of resignation was written by her husband, so I guess whatever illness she has must be pretty serious.

“Today, it is with great sadness I write to you, as her husband and as her power of attorney, to report her health has continued to deteriorate, leaving her unable to pen this letter herself and forcing her to tender her resignation,” Willis Brown wrote.
