We make that drive quite often now that my daughter and son-in-law moved from BR to Covington. Last weekend was a complete shiteshow, and that was before the fire.
Frickers were just about swapping paint once you hit the 3-lane.

We did Austin and San Antonio a few years back and just got back from Charleston and Savannah (few days each). Enjoyed Savannah so much that we booked another trip next year. Any of these would be a good choice.

I had 2 weeks off for Christmas and New Year’s. I leave this Wednesday morning for 2 weeks vacation in Charleston and Savannah, and I have zero stress about taking it. Set your damn outgoing email message and update the message on your phone. It’s my time, and I fricking earned it.
re: How successful do you think your father was at raising you?
Posted by BasilFawlty on 1/27/26 at 9:23 am to HouseMom
My Dad is the singular reason that I am the person I am today.
He had it kinda tough growing up. His brother, who he was very close with, died at 19 in Korea in '51.
His Dad was a diesel mechanic who quit school in the 4th grade to work in a foundry. Pops was a jock growing up, which was something my grandfather didn't understand. Thought it was a waste of time, and never saw any of his games. My grandmother always went though.
My grandfather died when I was 4, so at 26, with a family of his own, my Dad became the head of his family (my grandmother and 3 sisters, one of whom was already widowed).
He was really the glue that held my family together, and it wasn't until after he died in 2005 that my sister and I realized how much he had to deal with, especially with my Mom, who wasn't the most stable person in the world.
He taught me to always put family first, work hard and to be generous. I inherited his undying sense of optimism. His mantra was "always keep a good thought". Simple, but effective. I love him more than words can express.
Unfortunately I never really got to tell him how much he meant to me. He passed in 2005 in Metairie. Had a massive heart attack in a parking lot. He was by himself. I was in Prairieville at the time. Had seen him a few weeks before. Gave him a hug and a kiss and told him I loved him.

According to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library website, that is Nancy Reagan's grandmother, Sarah Luckett, not Nancy herself.

Solars are not usually the greatest choice. Is there any way you could go the low-voltage route?

Had an infected testicle years ago. I was holding my baby daughter who happened to be wearing a pair of those horrific hard-soled baby shoes. She managed to kick me square in the affected nut. Saw stars and blacked out for a moment.
Managed to pass her off to my wife and I went straight to the floor.
