Unless a weave is yanked off a weenz’s head, it’s not a real fight.
I just received an update on an Amazon delivery that I was supposed to receive today, saying that the delivery is delayed.
Aren’t the parameters that determine when the Bonnet Carre is opened mandated by Federal Law (Congress)?

What time did the baseball game end

Tough to pay for flood insurance, but that $120k check after Katrina came in handy.

Get the colonoscopy.

I put off getting one. At 62 years old, my primary care doc told me you’ve been putting it off long enough.
So I relented and got it done. Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! It found cancer. Stage 3.
Through neoadjuvent chemo/radiation, I was fortunate enough for the cancer to completely disappear before surgery.

Get the colonoscopy.
Get your own inspector, not one in cahoots with the realtor.

re: Car Max?

I know someone that bought a Toyota Tacoma from Carmax. A few weeks later the A/C system imploded. Needed new compressor, etc. Carmax got the repairs done, no questions asked.
My worst job turned into a pretty decent job.
For a college summer job I got on with an industrial contractor doing work in a chemical plant. They stuck me on the sandblasting crew as a helper. Hot, sweaty, stinky work. But after two weeks they switched me to be a gopher for the job superintendent. I had a bicycle with a big basket and they gave me a walkie talkie. I would shuttle small parts and supplies to different crews working in the different areas of the plant. For larger stuff I had a pickup truck. Three or four times a week I’d have to go off site to pickup supplies or parts. And half the time I was idle and could hang out in the A/C in the job site trailer.
Someone will run to the DC district court and get a TRO forbidding Trump’s order.
My ex wife’s grandfather had a farm in Southern Indiana and he would hire Amish to work on his farm. He held the Amish in high esteem.

Also, her grandfather was an LSU fan. He told me that in the 50s, before TV, he used to listen to LSU football games on radio. The LSU games were on a clear channel and reached many parts of the country. He said he specifically recalled Cannon’s punt return against Ole Miss.

Considered going, till they said it was $125 a person


I have my reunion in September, $150 per person. So if you bring a significant other, it’s going to be $300. I think the cost is going to hurt the turnout, but what do I know, I’m not one of the know it alls in charge.

I’m not sure I’m going to go.
I’d say your friend is SOL.
A friend of mine’s father was a pilot on a B17 that was shot down over Germany. He baled out and landed in a field and injured his leg on landing. As he tried limping toward a tree line, he was accosted by several German civilians carrying axes and pitchforks that were going to execute him. He was saved by several German soldiers that appeared and held off the civilians at gunpoint. One of the German soldiers spoke English and told him that the civilians wanted to kill him for bombing their country. He was interred at a POW camp until the end of the war.
Did SFP, the chief justice of PT, issue his ruling yet?
Not the great loop but a guy I used to work for in high school went from NOLA to New York for the 1976 USA bi centennial tall ships celebration. He had a Grand Banks type trawler. But he didn’t bring it back to NOLA, he left the boat in NYC and hired a yatch broker to sell it.

What’s the one he says about a blister or a sunburn or something? I can’t remember exactly how he says it.


I think it was “hotter than a fire ant bite on a fever blister”.
Right down the street there is good Barbecue at The Joint.

Then get drinks at Bacchanal.
