re: TulaneLSU's Top 10 hottest days and nights in New Orleans history

Those hand draw graphs are dope!!!

There’s no way you have a woman.
Or even a dude.
I wonder if the dog has left yet?

The 1911 statistics are impressive when you think about how the folks in NOLA didn’t have air conditioning for some indoor relief.

I’d almost rather no ac at this point. Going from the cool house to the heat sucks bad, but you get used to it after you break that first sweat

I see TulaneLSU, I fricking upvote

Friend,

Your four color graphs are both a work both art and a study in mathematical succinctness.

I currently have in my possession a once tested (never used) Bic 4 color selectable ink pen that I obtained from Goudeaus Drugs of Plaquemine Louisiana in the un-seasonably warm fall of 1982 (See exhibit 1 below). I would like to see it being utilized for the good of all man kind, instead of convalescing in its current location in the back of my 2nd from bottom desk drawer. As the local museums have shown little interest, I thought you should have it.

I shall post haste have it placed in the outgoing US Mail, along with some kumquat jelly for mother (once the wax sets.)

Yours,
B. Blanco, Esq.

Your link, the greatest destroyer of alcohol , leads to what, I believe, might be your magnum opus. Interesting the threads of biography and autobiography can easily unravel over time and through lax stewardship without extraordinary diligence and finesse on the part of the biographer. Truth is especially precious and fragile in the telling of our ancestors’ heroic exploits and human failings. You do the craft of biography credit and represent your family well.

I particularly treasured this tidbit. A masterful wedding of angling prowess and sartorial probity.

How can you have a New Orleans weather post and not mention Nash Roberts?

Dear friend of the Crescent City,

Have you considered the effects of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai underwater volcano eruption of last year? It is my understanding that it injected enough water vapor into the atmosphere, which serves as a greenhouse gas, to temporarily raise global temperatures, including that of the Southland's fairest city. I submit this postulation with the hope of lowering the hackles of the few but vocal climate alarmists who post in this forum.

In accordance with Great Grandmother's infinite acuity, I too am of the belief that those bedeviled with the preposterous school of thought in which air conditioning is viewed as a desideratum to one's comfort in the summer months should be met with unmitigated objurgation!
