"Meanwhile, Hurricane Isaias has passed, but we are awaiting updates on two refineries that were in its path, the outcome of which could impact the supply picture in the days ahead. For now, the trend is cautiously in the right direction for motorists, but between hurricane season and continued geopolitical uncertainty, it is far too early to declare the pressure on fuel prices resolved.”

And now...like all good things, my time of posting on Tigerdroppings has come to an end after 19 years.

Post #30,350 is the perfect stopping point.

I will definitely still lurk and read the board for news, any decent political points, food recommendations and such; however, I have embarked all the wisdom and stupidity I can here.

The Food & Drink Board is where I discovered great beers to try, and where I found a recipe to cook shrimp & grits for the very first time. The discussions of politics, industry, sports, foods & beers and crawfish prices over the years has been fun and quite enlightening. This is one of those places where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came.

Maybe I'll temporarily post again if the Cajuns ever return to the College World Series, or by some miracle find their way into the College Football Playoff (won't have to worry about that one). We shall see.

So...adios. It's been real. It's been fun. But it ain't been real fun!

God Bless each and every one of you, and I hope the upcoming crawfish season is plentiful for everyone.
