Shreveport has turned into a shithole

Very few deep south cities the size of Shreveport that aren't just like it, which is quite sad. Normally one has to look for trouble in this city, violent crime is almost exclusively drug scene or domestic violence and one is able to avoid geographically, this was an instance where it spilled into a busy area with plenty of uninvolved targets, fortunately no innocents hurt or killed unlike the stray bullet from a gunfight taking the life of an innocent child in South Highlands back in the spring of 2022.

Shreveport does now have a competent mayor for what that is worth, but I don't see any end to the problems the city faces anytime soon, again like much of the traditional south.
I witnessed it. Crazy. Was going home between morning and afternoon clinic from my hospital, heard gunfire as I was passing St. Marks just North of the intersection of Kings and Fairfield, then got to the light at the intersection and heard rerpetitive small arms fire, looked to my right and saw as black sedan (looked like a c class MB) moving east on Kings with a man on foot chasing and shooting into the car. Another car (white MB SUV) tore past me in the right hand turn lane going wrong way on Fairfield. Light turned green and I got across the intersection. Crazy, too close for comfort. I thnk it all started back in the hood west of Fairfield/north of Kings.

If she's derm, I want to know how in dafuq she got surgery privileges. The get zero surgical training other than skin procedures. Holding a retractor as a student or intern doesn't count.


My bet is that this did not occur in a hospital system, but some type of private clinic/quasi surgery center that she was probably invested in or owned. She probably went to a weekend course for lipo, hired out some washed up anesthesia provider and hung out a shingle to do cut rate cosmetic procedures. Those types of facilities aren't subject to the same standard of inspection and regulation that real hospitals are, which is why the general public has to be very careful.

I'm a big believer in only doing procedures that one has had legitimate and rigorous training for and when adding new procedures they should be germaine to a skill set already possessed.

This is more than awful. Makes me sick.

beautiful creamy patina on the dial furniture, I'm partial to the larger markers without the WG surrounds. That's a 16800? What year is that watch?

I agree with both of you guys...I love stick dials. This one would be much better without the arabics, not 100% sure I'll keep it, but I do like the Oysterquartz case shape/flat jubilee/integrated bracelet and really dig the visible decorated movement, and the gold skeletonized rotor is an especially nice touch, in my estimation. I also wasn't sure what I would think about the honeycomb dial, but it is killer in person, particularly under a loupe mag.

On the topic of simple stick dials, I also picked this 12600-0012 beige dial 36mm OP last month from the same AD. I was at least mildly surprised to get two calls in such short order, but they know I like 36 mm watches.

This thread has been a little neglected, but new watch a couple of days ago, so what the heck. Got this from the Rolex AD in my neighborhood Wednesday. 127234 Land-Dweller 36mm in SS/WG. I know this is a polarizing release for them, but it looks great in person, and it fits what I like to wear.
Well that was a fricking awful pfft. of a game. That lineup lets Eddie Rodriguez beat them. That's pitiful.
awful AB, hoping for a walk there
c'mon Judge, shock me and don't do what I think you're gonna do here.
It's about time for ERod to revert back to the mean and show his true colors.
I think I just saw a semi-incognito Al Leiter sitting down low behind home plate.
House of Savoy. Blue is the color of that house going back about 800 years. Royal house that unified Italy in 1861. Ancient royal house originally from French and Italian Alpine region. Traditional seat of power in Torino (Turin).
all those American dudes with hands dutifully over their hearts for the Italian anthem . At least they all have Italian names and look the part, unlike Austin Wells lol. :lol:

The batter certainly didn't help himself by starting the walk to first

I'll take it a little further, he is a LHB, and he started moving towards the dugout, away from 1B nearly immediately and before the ump even called it, then the ump calls it and he hops and emotes as if a bad call.

I think that traditionally that is a strike as I said earlier, and I don't care if umps miss a little bit compared to ABS as long as the pitcher executes the pitch, and especially if the batter is not protecting there.
Does Big Papi have iced out ear buds in??
I think in the days before K-zone, that is a strike 95 times out of 100 in that same spot, especially with hitter at least not trying to spoil it.
whale of a ball game. I'm happy for human umpiring right there. Filthy pitch, strike or no.
I feel like I'd rather have Cal Raliegh back there right now
I really, really want Austin Wells to be the little "g" goat in this game. Some spectacular frick up by him would be lovely.
