It’s a great park to go to, especially in the middle of the week in October/November. We went last October and spent 1 day with our 13, 8, 6, and 4 year old. We brought them 3 years prior in June, but October was so much better with the weather and crowds. Could’ve used an extra day because we didn’t get there till noon. The rides are awesome. The food is great. It’s a very pleasant park if you go at the right time of the year. Wild Eagle, Mystery Mine, and Big Bear Mountain are excellent, thrill rides that are different in their own aspect.

What are my options for vehicle collision?
Posted by Crescent Connection on 4/9/26 at 10:24 am
2 weeks ago, my wife rear-ended a van. The driver of the van was stopped in a moving lane trying to turn left into a parking lot. There was a turning lane in between the west and east bound lanes (single lane going both ways), but she was not in the turning lane. A truck in front of my wife swerved to avoid the stopped van in the moving lane, but my wife could not react in time to avoid the collision. Point of impact is documented in the moving lane because of the glass shatter in that lane, not the turning lane. The police issued the other driver the citation and there was an eyewitness that gave a statement in favor for my wife.
At fault driver’s insurance is not claiming liability, stating that my wife should have maintain control of her vehicle and avoided the van. Our insurance just came back saying the same thing, even though citation was given to other driver. I asked about shared liability, and they said they will try for 70/30, with the majority of liability on our end. And my wife was not on her phone. Not distracted.
For the OT lawyers, should I pursue this or just settle for shared liability? Our vehicle is going to be a total loss. This is in Louisiana, by the way.

re: Full sized Eagleston Holly tree
Posted by Crescent Connection on 4/9/26 at 10:06 am to ELLSSUU
I searched for this exact same thing a month a few months ago. Wanted to create some privacy along our back fence line, and was going back and forth between the Eagleston and Savannah holly. Native Sun here in Lafayette had Eaglestons on sale, so we purchased 6 of those in January. Not convinced it’s going to get as dense as Savannah’s, but I cut the highest vertical shoot in late February to promote growth horizontally. And fertilized with Holly-Tone.
There’s a more recent pic on Clean Cut Landscaping that looks like Savannah Hollys and they are dense and provide total privacy.

Where to get dash cams installed in Lafayette?

Looking for someone to install dash cams for my wife’s Odyssey. Drivers around here are crazy. Anyone recommend a reputable installer besides Ricky Smith’s Audio?

One of the cardiologist’s wife was featured on the front cover of 008 recently. She was standing in front of an exotic car. The cardiologist still drives a 1999 Toyota Corolla. He’s been in practice for at least 12 years.

The thing that stood out to me that I forgot was how valuable Robert Meachem was to that team in '09. Besides the obvious incredible strip and TD against the Redskins, he was tied for most reception TDs with Colston at 9 TDS. Shockey and Bush were next at 3 TDs a piece. Henderson only had 2 TDs that year (the wide open TD against the Patriots I will never forget).
Meachem finished the year with 45 receptions for 722 yards and 9 TDs. Last I heard, he was the WR coach for De La Salle in New Orleans. Not sure if he's still coaching there.

Stumbled upon this last night. Has every score from that year. Told my buddy 2009 was the only season where I remember where I was for each game. Truly special.

I agree. Charley G’s is getting outdated and bland. We use to go there often, but haven’t been in 3 years probably.

Vestal is the best and probably priciest restaurant in Lafayette. It's worth the cost to me.
In the last couple years, Sarrica's and most recently CuGino's has been our go-to restaurants for Italian.
25 minute drive to Breaux Drive you will find Cafe Sydnie Mae which I consider a top-10 meal in the Acadiana area.

FMOLHS just deposited their matching contributions for the previous calendar year to our 403b accounts at closing bell today. Better than depositing matching contributions at the market highs in late January I guess. Still wish they would match contributions biweekly.

You can bring in good manufacturing consultants, accounting consultants, IT consultants, etc, by hiring consulting firms that specialize in the work you need done. This management team does not need to know how to do any of that shite.
If this is the real deal, it’s lagniappe.

Maybe in the money 2 years out, but look at SLI. It’s been hanging in purgatory for 5 years, and i know a lot of people who lost 99% of their value on $5 calls when it was trading at $6 in early 2022.
Option for options would be nice
HGRAF needs to prove revenue before anyone touches calls.
Common stock is the way to go with this.
