New Orleans' electric grid needs a rebuild. Who will pay for it? https://www.nola.com/news/business/who-will-pay-to-bolster-new-orleans-electric-grid/article_a054dcb8-9130-11ee-8d22-b7cd71acf51a.html One of the biggest #NOLA problems besides geology and geography remains its crumbling infrastructure. A for-profit electrical power provider Entergy doesn’t really care. The people of New Orleans are screwed.

As NOPD drones take to the skies, a concerned public weighs costs, benefits https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/nopd-drones-spawn-debate-over-costs-benefits/article_bd1f53f6-908a-11ee-acf6-23b6c28cb9df.html #NOLA and NOPD should use the drones to track mayor Can’trell. Maybe that way we can figure out what this loser is really doing.
Good morning! Looks like the Algiers Point bonfire might not be rained out after all. Hopefully, New Orleans' own NOLA Burners will get to shine.

Back in the pool today. I realized I wouldn't like one of those pools where you swim against the current. What I like is the feeling I'm gliding through the water like a wind-up toy fish in a bathtub.
The back injury in June is mostly just a memory, but I'm still working to regain the stamina I lost. I did 1240 yards in 40 minutes, slow and only my minimum, but I'm in the water.
Are you a woman in Louisiana who gave birth in your teens due to the state’s draconian abortion laws after the Dobbs decision?

"Jas Parade" with genuine "jas band", New Orleans, 23 November 1916.
We started the "jas age" early in New Orleans, even if we weren't sure how to spell it.
Went to Rouse's today—yes, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It was delightful. All of us late shoppers in there together. And the conversations, because it was mostly groups shopping ("Now, that's enough lemons, we don't need any more lemons.") A totally communal experience.

#LAwx #NOLA At this time, the timing for the severe weather risk will be generally after sunset today, racing east across the area through the night into Tuesday morning. The greatest confidence for severe storms remains to be across areas along an north of I-10/12 and west of I-59, with less confidence on the eastward and southern extent. However, be weather aware for all areas overnight tonight.
#LAwx #NOLA Slight to Enhanced risk of severe weather tonight into Tuesday morning. Expecting scattered to numerous severe storms, especially for areas across southwestern Mississippi with isolated tornadoes, some strong, damaging winds and large hail possible. Stay weatheraware. Have multiple ways to receive warnings and know where your safe place is in the even you need to take shelter.

2010 or so, I was walking to a conference at the #NOLA convention center when I noticed a crowd of people in a side street. As I watched a garage door opened up, a wave of cannabis smoking wafted out and everyone lined up. I got in line because, yes please! Eventually I asked the stoned dude what he was serving,
"Shrimp Etouffee sub"
"One please"
That was, by at least a 30% margin, the best sandwich I've ever had.

I love how even the most conservative southern states have these big liberal enclaves. Just came from the Garden District in Baton Rouge where pride flags and BLM signs were proudly displayed - now in the Warehouse District in New Orleans which has a similar welcoming feel.

New Orleans / Louisiana friends - Election day, if you haven't voted, please do.
Important harm mitigation. Too many didn't bother to vote in the first election, so we have an incoming MAGAt Governor elect. But the important offices of Secretary of State, Attorney General, and State Treasurer depend on today's election.

https://www.iowa.media/2023/11/14/city-of-new-orleans-to-remove-homeless-encampments-this-friday/ This is big “foreign news,” but isn’t even covered adequately by The Times-P / local #NOLA media. Why? Obviously because we don’t care enough about our homeless people. Truly a sad state of affairs.
Blast from the past for #NOLA folks… a postcard from Martin Bros. Restaurant on the Chef Menteur Highway, 1939-1978.
Funny thing… when I was a kid our phone number was one number off from Martin Bros., and they were open 24 hours. Sometimes in the middle of the night our phone would ring, Dad would groggily answer it, then take their order and tell them it'd be ready for pickup in 20 minutes.

#LAwx #NOLA Heavy rain is expected next week in association with a developing area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico. While widespread rain amounts of 3-6 inches are expected, it will fall over a period of several days lowering the flooding threat. That combined with the existing drought conditions should make this a mostly beneficial rain for the area.
New Orleans of yesteryear: Picou's Bakery, Bayou Road & Dorgenois St. 1985 photo by Infrogmation, about when they closed. Buildings since demolished.
They were open 24 hours a day - during off hours one couldn't enter the store, but could order via a bullet-proof revolving tray window. Need a wedding cake at 2am? No problem, go to Picou's!
"New Orleans has four intake structures, two on each riverbank. [...]
One in Algiers has been out of service for at least 34 years, and the sole remaining west bank inlet has routinely had barges — some containing oil and chemicals — lashed to it over the past decades. Meanwhile, both east bank intake protection structures have remained unrepaired since tanker ships struck them in 2016 and again in 2021, when the 2016 damage had yet to be fixed."

The way I was rocking out the entire time
It's very cool, living in this state. Getting cooler all the time. Yep.
Other than signing up for ID protection services (which the state really needs to pony up for!) do head over to ssa.gov and set up your account. It's free and very easy and you don't want someone else to go do it first.
@w7voa More evidence of just how farkled-up the Catholic infestation is. Ask Mrs. Benson why she is funding all of their legal battles. It’s bullshit, that’s what it is. #NOLA remains both a legal and political wasteland where backroom dealings have always controlled the less-fortunates and have-nots.
Lastyear in May, we were returning on our day cruise on the Creole Queen and watching the clouds in hope that the rains held off until we could dock and walk back to our hotel. We barely made before the sky unleashed the rain!
