Though it looks like a very resplendent and classy venue, it is sadly not in any way an extension of this blog. But if anyone is looking, it looks like a nice spot to get hitched… The Chicory … an elegant venue for your New Orleans wedding ceremony and reception, features exposed beams, brick walls,…

Won’t Bow But Will Pose For A Picture For A Dollar
Couple things seen around Jackson Square… I’m not an expert on the Indians but this strikes me as some sort of sacrilege? What I am hoping is either this is a fella who has somehow gotten himself an Indian costume and is freelancing on Jackson Square or he is a former Indian who is down…
No Merge For You
Via That Will Buff Out HT to the GP on the FB for this… I wag my finger at them like Dikembe Mutumbo and then I don’t let them in. You will never find a more agonizing instance of this than the I-10 / HWY 90 merge by the Superdome… View Larger Map

I am sure we have all started into the Wikipedia nebula on a fact-finding mission and let its stream-of-consciousness index of links and articles carry us through all sorts of subject…
Return of the Hunter!
Some may recall this post last summer when a Huntsman Spider invaded my laundry room. Well, the weather’s getting warmer and Sunday night, another appeared. That’s 8-inch baseboard he’s on.
‘Did You See Shockey?’
Jeremy Shockey took a carriage ride at the Square yesterday and even the most avant garde art girls were titillated by his appearance. What I was tickled by was the way he is almost always referred to by his last name and his last name only. He is “Shockey.” He’s not “Reggie Bush” or “Pierre…
