re: TulaneLSU's walk through America's best neighborhood

Friend,

Perhaps for individuals like yourself who have not been exposed to culture and fellowship like TulaneLSU and his acolytes like myself. His prose and astute observations may seem like the lunatic ravings of a madman who has gone simple and soft.

I for one look forward to his periodic observations and vignettes that make the mundane important albeit in a non spectacle sort of way without the ever present fog of politics that seem to be used ever more consistently interpret the world.

TulaneLSU is a treasure and dare I say my friend is something of a gadfly reminding us that the world around us outside of the digital broadcasts of the numerous news/ propaganda outlets. Is interesting. His admonishment about how we are retreating from the places of community wherein we interact with real people and not digital avatars is prescient.

There are few pleasure more reinvigorated then taking a stroll through the French Quarter on most Sunday mornings. The people you meet the casual conversations are what add depth to our lives.

But alas my friend this morning was to hot to do this. This infernally intemperate weather keeps me holed up in the sanitary and somewhat impersonal environs of the Ozone Belt of the Northshore.
