Guys, thank you. I called PSC and received a call yesterday. Entergy called this morning, met me at the house, confirmed the pole was misplaced, and said it would be moved by next Friday.
Love a happy ending where the good guys win.

Looking to see. If any of you have advice on how to handle new teenage driver
I plan on handing down my tundra
Having a specific car assigned to a specific kid changes things immensely. It's one thing with a family policy if the kid is added as an "occasional driver" on mom/dad's car, another if they are assigned as primary driver on a different, 3rd car.
This is how my friend (insurance guy for years/still is) did it and told me how to do it to save money (It's what he did and what we did when our girls were in high school).
1. Get 3rd car for kid's use (hopefully a used car), ownership in your name.
2. Get insurance policy FROM ANOTHER PROVIDER on the 3rd car, not your main car/home/life, etc. provider.
3. List parent as primary driver on 3rd car policy, list kid as occasional driver.
This can also work if you are handing down an existing car (your Tundra). Let your current insurance know you are replacing it with a new car (whatever you are buying for yourself to replace the Tundra). Get the old Tundra insured with a new insurance firm, with you as primary driver, and kid as occasional driver.
The loss of any benefits you may get from adding another car to your "bundle" will be far less than the increased cost of adding your kid as a primary driver of a third family automobile.

Soon there won’t be room for the Hs kids in parades due to all the adults who didnt get enough attention as a kid.
It's the other way around.
1. Less bands are marching these days for various reasons. Safety in the large New Orleans crowds is one reason stated in the past. Money is another-- while the school bands (not the students) ARE paid, marching in a Mardi Gras parade is not a moneymaker for the schools. Transportation is expensive, as is the cleaning of band uniforms after parade season. And, less kids are taking band at school in general.
2. In New Orleans, the ONLY parade left that parades with its own time slot and its own route is Endymion on Saturday night. On any other parade day or night you have multiple parades, one after the other (from Oshun/Cleopatra on Friday night to Zulu/Rex on Mardi Gras Day). On Saturday, February 7th, Uptown has SIX (6) parades along St. Charles. There are only so many school marching bands to go around, and they can only march so much or so often. New Orleans parades are required to have a certain number of marching units; these marching groups are filling the gap, not pushing kid's bands out of the way.

Came across a reel the other day with some guy explaining how it is pretty much a loose retelling of Terminator 2- Judgement Day
-- Leo diCaprio character is like Sarah Connor/Linda Hamilton- parent from a fringe radical group
-- The black daughter Willa (Chase Infiniti) is like John Connor/Ed Furlong
-- Sean Penn is like the shapeshifting "new" Terminator T-1000.
-- Benicio Del Toro is a form of the protective Arnold Schwarzenegger /Terminator, protecting the kid.
Apparently he is not the only one who thinks so:
"One Battle After Another" Review
"One Rave After Another"
Others have pointed to an interview where Paul Thomas Andeson talked about his first day of film school, when a screenwriting professor told the class “if you’re here to write Terminator 2, just leave now.” And Anderson did do so, the next day.

re: Best / Worst NFL Stadium Locations:

quote:Agreed on that being the thing that make an NFL stadium location "good"
I haven't been to many, but New Orleans, Nashville, and Chicago were all walkable to nightlife and city activities.
New Orleans is the best. Nashville is good, too. Seattle is pretty good in that regard.
While Atlanta's stadium is downtown, unfortunately there is nothing in terms of downtown nightlife in Atlanta.
So many NFL stadiums are out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a sea of parking lots. Northerners and such say that's conducive to "tailgating", but the idea of tailgating on concrete surrounded by cars and more pavement-- ON A SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE A NOON GAME-- seems to be a travesty.
Give me a college campus, with trees and grass, before a 2:30 PM or a night game. Now that's a real tailgate:

did they do this diverging diamond interchange for the new NOLA airport?
yes, change to ground-level Loyola underpass interchange.
Has no influence/relation to the new flyover ramps directly to/from the airport.

Later started playing all over the state and changed their name to The Floridians, and changed their color scheme from blue and orange to magenta and orange:
The Miami Heat has worn throwback tribute version of that uniform:
2. "Texans" has a LOT of precedent. The NFL had a Dallas Texans franchise that only lasted ONE YEAR in 1952. And the AFL had the Dallas Texans from 1960-63:
Later moved to Kansas City and became the Chiefs with just a change of the logo. Chiefs have worn Texans throwbacks in the past:
3. There was also a "Dallas Texans" franchise in the Arena Football in the early 1990s:
4. Also, the WFL in the mid-70s had TWO "state name" teams. One was, in fact, the Houston Texans:
They actually moved to Shreveport and became the "Shreveport Steamer"
The other WFL state name team was this one, based in Honolulu:
5. Finally, when the CFL added a few American teams in the 1990s, for one year there existed the San Antonio Texans:

LA and MS beaches are trash
LA beaches (what few it has on the Gulf) ARE trash due to the effect of the Mississippi, Atchafalaya, and Calcasieu Rivers.
Mississippi's mainland beaches are mostly man-made and aren't much better; they are on the brackish Mississippi Sound rather than the actual Gulf, and as such get the effects of the Pearl, Pascagoula, and even the Mobile Rivers. But if you take your boat out to the barrier islands and the actual Gulf, it's like this:
Horn Island:

On the Sound side it's generally like this:

quote:There was never a recall election for Broussard; the group backing a recall never got the required number of voters to sign the petition for the recall election (in Louisiana, it's 1/3 of ALL registered voter in a jurisdiction). You are lucky if you can get 30% participation in an actual election on an assigned date at well-established poll locations; very hard to get a third of registered voters to sign a petition.
Survived a recall election.
There has never been a recall in a Louisiana jurisdiction with more than 25,000 voters.
Louisiana should either base the signature requirement on the number of voters who participated in the election of the official targeted for recall, as many states do. Or, the Legislature could reduce the percentage of total registered voters, possibly to 15 percent, in more heavily populated areas. The states of Georgia and Montana use similar thresholds, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Was that the Kenner-brah mayor that was caught courting Jesuit students?
Kenner voters didn't even vote to recall him once they learned that.
He had moved on from Kenner-brah mayor and was nearing the end of his first term as Jefferson Parish President at the time of his... indiscretions.
He wisely decided not to run for re-election after that mess. He had no support whatsoever in the Parish after that stuff came out.
He wasn't even a Yenni by name; his mom was a Yenni and his real last name was Maunoir. Changing it got him name recognition; his late grandfather was revered Parish President Joe Yenni, and his uncle Michael J. Yenni was also a well-respected Parish President who died in office at the age of 44 due to complications from a rare bone-marrow disease called myelofibrosis.

JP parish president went to jail for several years and you won't hear a peep about the situation.
No, you don't because justice was served and the people in Jeff Parish got some sense of satisfaction. That sumbitch Aaron Broussard was hated by most on the east bank because of his stupidity during Katrina that gave so many flooding, because of his not having the pump stations manned and operating (folks got "Broussard water"). He actually lost the east bank in his re-election campaign after Katrina, but wound up winning via support from those on the West Bank who didn't get "Broussard Water".
