There was a lot going on so I can’t present much of genuine article covering the event so I will just result to bullet points… – Buffa’s was energized and kinetic. The bleu cheese coleslaw was delectable. My particular favorite part was IG Robert Cerasoli quoting Jeffrey to Jeffrey. It seemed to be a moment…

Updates!
Just a few updates to these two posts… Mainstream Media Vs. Scuttlebutt! I saw Ms. Donna on the levee this afternoon and asked her about the incident and she said it was at this house and the woman was not charged. According to DNN, “He beat her. He was always beating her.” Also, I have…
Fay Finally Turns
TS Fay has finally made her expected NNW turn and damn if she didn’t have me concerned there for a while. Expectations were for her to make the turn earlier but she hung on a little longer than expected. Some computer models yesterday evening had her landfall at Mobile Bay.

That this story is getting attention on outlets like NPR and the Old Gray Lady is magnificent. It will hopefully let the…
Don’t Want It
Algiers Point shuttle service begins – Don’t want it. – Don’t want to pay $1.50. – Want to bring my bike. – Want to be on the river. – Want consistency. – Want cooperation. – Want reimbursement. – Tired of Gretna ferries running and Algiers not. Still bitter over the “Deja Vu” incidnet when the…
