B & J’s Seafood!!!

Great Poboys and fried food.

Boiled crawfish, shrimp, and fat blue crabs. Nicely seasoned. Perfectly cooked.

Lots of frozen traditional foods to take home, too.

The One Thing I Miss

The Golden Girls used to come out wearing long purple capes and line up on the Goal Line. Then, one-by-one (by the numbers) they would undo those capes and let them drop, as they turned toward the crowd.

The effect was mesmerizing. I wish they’d bring it back.

A treatise about placing too much faith in and idolizing heroes.

Going to be at the Sigur Center in Chalmette tomorrow. Can anyone help with ideas about a safe, nice place to eat dinner at around 6pm? Not looking for elegant. It’ll be my wife, my pre-teen daughter, and I.

Thank you in advance.

Does this style kite need a tail?

Thanks for all your replies and suggestions.

Any thoughts on places in Slidell? If not, Metry it will be.

Read: “If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him” by Sheldon Kopp.

In 1969, while a junior at LSU, I was coming from New Roads at dusk. Turned onto LA190 and saw this guy with long blond hair hitching. My first thought was to give him a ride before somebody stopped to beat the hell out of him for having long blonde hair.

It didn’t occur to me this might be a woman since you just didn’t see women hitching in the South. But when the door opened, in slid an incredibly beautiful woman with hair down to her butt and a rather nice body. She had hitched from Colorado where she had spent the summer on a commune, and was heading back to Florida State for school.

Where was she staying that night? She didn’t have a clue. I took her in for the night. She was quite an interesting woman. And it was an interesting night. The next morning, I took her to Florida and Airline Highway and watched her catch a ride in about three minutes.

I know she made it back safely because she mailed a card saying so. We mailed each other back and forth for a while, but it eventually tapered off. I never saw her again. And so it goes.

The Speakeasy

I remember ZZ Top playing there regularly. They played two sets a night both Friday and Saturday. Five dollars admission for you and your date and all the draft beer you could drink.

ZZ Top ran everyone out of their dressing room a half hour before each performance to do Transcendental Meditation. They were also clean shaven back then.

I know. I know. Hard to believe in today’s world, but there it is.
