Dammit, Neil, the name is Nuwanda

There needs to be a color named “allergy” for being outside in south Louisiana in early- to mid-March.

Cleaning my glasses is about as much self care as I can manage right now, but boy howdy does it make a difference. Should probably do this more often.

The company with the duck commercials?

Sure, I got first round

I'm checking flights now

Have had quite a few "be careful what you wish for" conversations with folks who depend on people like me to move their products. I can't sell what you don't have. Sowing, reaping, rangoons with no crab, things of that nature.

Who could have possibly seen this coming

A recently restored Pioneer turntable with roughly 2 pounds of nicotine and tar scrubbed off. Seriously, people, quit smoking. It's disgusting and it gunks the fuck out of your precious electronics.

Latest restoration project completed. Unknown provenance but she's spinning like a champ and will continue to do so for another 30 years or so with a little attention now and again. Not bad for a broad pushing 50.

Don't let the cute fool you.

I swore after that one I would never ever ever have another puppy or kitten again. And then my wife hit menopause, lost her damn mind (not related) (maybe), and we got Molly. I swore once again that we would never ever ever have another puppy or kitten.

Just what we need, more podcasts

Decatur the Dogue de Bordeaux laying on the lawn, his chestnut/apricot blend fur is clean for once and his white chest marking is somewhat visible. his mouth is open and tongue partially out mid-pant. The drool, if not visible, is implied.

This asshole here

A laundry basket with six 6 week old Dogue de Bordeaux puppies, with a young child on one side and a vet tech on the other struggling to keep them contained. One of them eventually became ours named Decatur.

This basket of shitheads would be 13 today.

Court of International Trade hell yeah fuck yeah

What the fuck would this manipulative parasite know about a soul? Someone tell her about it?

Christ what an asshole

One of the big reasons why we got so many famous people living here is because we left them the fuck alone. These daily updates don't so a damn thing for anyone.

Freddie the Somewhat Siamese cat asleep on his side on the footrest of my recliner, likely dreaming of how he'll kill us all and take over the world.

Morning, Nandor. Great cat, here also is a picture of my cat

If this news station were truly "local first" they'd know we ignore celebrities here, not breathlessly cover every second of their existence in Orleans Parish

I'm feeling like TACOs tonight

This may help mancub, though, because his momma has kinfolk with a whole ass town in Acadiana named for them and a family tree that resembles shrubbery.

That side was fairly well researched by another cousin who didn't want to get a real job after college. That's how we found out there was Scots heritage as well as English and Irish. We got kicked out of all 3 at one point or another.

The railroad needed an easier way to get supplies from one side of the river to the other and found a bunch of roustabouts (my kin) with just the right motivation. None of them were coonass, though, just derelicts, drunks, and neerdowells from the Isles.

Not many French speakers in Tangy back in the day, mine were all boozers from the UK and thereabouts. Grandcousin tells a story about how 17 of my ancestors were told there was a barrel of shine on the other side of the Tangipahoa River they could have as long as they built a bridge to get to it.

Used to be a direct flight from NOLA. Pour out una cerveza for Taca Airlines.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989)

It's a moral imperative

"Oh you're from [insert any country or region here] tell me what kind of rice and beans dish y'all make"

I do love me a subsistence staple dish

A picture of the Lake Pontchartrain path shrouded in fog. Maybe 1/10 mi visibility. Cain't see shit.

There's a lake* out there somewhere
