re: Do you dress up for the airport

I wear long pants, long sleeve shirt, durable footwear and have one or two innocent everyday items that can be repurposed as weapons. I fly sober and keep my head on a swivel for threats.

ETA and always natural fibers. Synthetics will melt to your skin.

There's a long standing myth in this country going back to the Puritans that wealth is a sign of virtue. It ain't necessarily so. It just allows you to indulge whatever innate qualities you have, whether good or evil. Epstein is one example. This is another. Eventually you'll hear some revolting shite about Musk, Thiel et al.

Nobody in BR is more than two generations off the farm, the oilfield, or the fruit and vegetable cart. To think of them trying to be elitist is rather humorous.

re: How old were your parents when you were born?

Posted by Jim Rockford on 11/12/25 at 11:48 am to LCA131

Dad was 25, Mother was 22. I was the firstborn. The good side of that was they had a lot of energy when I was growing up. The downside is they were a couple of kids themselves and had to figure it out as they went along. They were a lot more laid back with my siblings.

My late SO was the baby of the family and was born when her parents were in their late thirties. She spent a good part of her adulthood being their caregiver and they died when her son was young so he didn't get to spend much time with them.

re: Who is the most successful LSU dropout you've met?

Posted by Jim Rockford on 11/11/25 at 10:06 pm to Chastains

That I know personally? A fraternity brother, petroleum engineering major, made a 4.0 his freshman year then went nuts, became borderline alcoholic, his family cut him off, I heard he was managing a storage rental place and living in one of the units. I lost track of him and figured he was dead. Fast forward about 15 years and he's a real estate appraiser with offices up and down the gulf coast. He had family connections that eventually came through for him. I think he's still a functional alcoholic though.

re: What is the first major news event you recall watching?

A hurricane, not sure which one. The man on TV said to stay inside. My mother ran over to the neighbors to borrow something and I was mad at her for breaking the rules.
