Just what we need, more fast food bad nutrition. The popularity of this crap baffles me, but I guess if you put enough sugar and fat on something, the idiots will order it.

76 here, Hurricane Flossy hit NOLA area when I was 7 in 1956, we lived in a low area, Nash Roberts said we should turn over our dining room table to use as a raft if the levees break.

I remember Sputnik in 1957, my little sister born in 1958, and Kennedy elected in 1960.

Nothing, I ate anything, still do. When I was 6, I'd grab a raw potato, wash it off and eat it like an apple. Celery was my favorite snack.

Matt, I'm becoming a regular, I've been breadmaking my own for years, after I tasted your wares, I'm done, I want the good stuff. Is there anyplace I can buy your stuff during the week?

Keep it up.

Crazy bastard. I live on a great fishing lake, we have an HOA which has a policy that only residents can fish the lake, it is privately owned. Kids pull their bikes in my driveway and fish from the bank behind my house. I love to see the kids enjoying themselves in a great activity, I'll point out the good spots to them, offer them water, just watch them for a while.

I do warn them that the last time I had the water analyzed it showed a lot of pesticides and E.coli, so best not eat their catch, just throw them back. A kid that likes to fish is a good kid.

The good news about Verge taking over is that we will likely be able to retain Jay Johnson. An outsider as AD usually means eventually they bring in their own people, that is just the way it works.

I've met Verge several times, he is well qualified to handle the coaches. What I don't know is if he can make it rain money the way Scott could.

It makes zero sense to me. He's in his mid-70's, at best he is a short-term placeholder, I don't see the benefit. It would take him at least one season to get the roster ramped up, if not longer. Saban hated the portal and NIL because the players can come and go as they please, meaning his style of intimidation has lost its effectiveness. It reminds me of N. Carolina getting Belichick out of mothballs, for what??

I see zero upside for both LSU and Saban, why would Saban tarnish his legacy to go back to the grind? LSU needs to get on with finding the best coach they can get, the past is the past, it's not coming back.

I have had the responsibility of finding care for family members, one had Alzheimer's, another had debilitating surgery that required months of rehab, now another who needs assisted living.

1. Memory Care was the most difficult. Money was not an issue, so I made the rounds of as many places as I could find in the BR area. The patient's wife was undergoing cancer treatment, so she couldn't help much. In going through ratings and statistics, I found the places who were dedicated to memory care only, were more secure and focused. I went through reviews, talked to as many people as I could find who had the same issues. All seemed to point to a place with the least downsides. BUT, the sales people you talk to will promise the moon, but the majority of the care comes from the workers on the low end of the wage scale. We had problems with someone getting him dressed, brushing his teeth, basic sanitation, showers, he began detiorating soon after admissions. It is a stressful to get them to go in, a lot of resistance, so moving is not an option.

2. Rehab. Visited many, but availability is a big issue. The places I wanted were full. It will be a stroke of luck to get an available bed in a desirable location. Most insurances limit you to 100 days. This patient was very cognizant, so she could get most of her demands met. Plus, it was close by, so I or my wife was there every day, that helps. The food was dismal, so we brought in a lot of dinners.

3. Assisted Living. This is a work in process, I'll see how it turns out.

I've had the pleasure of having a meal with Verge occasionally, Verge is an extremely clever guy. I got on him about those 1st game losses, his reply, "My job is to give the coach every chance to succeed at the highest level, no coach has ever asked me to do anything different."

I hope I am, but I already see candidates turning up their noses. There are silver linings, Carville says he is burning His LSU diploma and gear, so he won't be embarrassing us any longer.
