They don't care. They get out and do the same shite again. Cut their fricking hand off if caught stealing, on the spot, and I'LL bet it's a deterrence that's effective!

Good morning all. Looks like cooler weather for a few days. Happy Monday!
Construction of the Horace Wilkinson Bridge aka "New Bridge" in the early to mid 1960's. I don't think they envisioned what the future held.

Today in Baton Rouge History
December 28, 1862
The Old State Capitol burned tonight in 1862. The Old State Capitol had been shelled by Union gunboats in May, 1862, but it was still usable as a camp for soldiers and sailors. Soldiers quartered in the old state capitol carelessly but unintentionally set the building on fire. As the ten-year-old structure burned, its flames lit up the waterfront. In the morning, the blackened walls of the proud structure were still standing, but the interior had been gutted. The dilapidated building would sit empty until 1879, when the legislature voted to return to Baton Rouge and appropriated funds to begin the process of restoring the building.



I've heard of people bidding on their auctions online, on vintage guitars and getting them for next to nothing!!

I trained my 80 pound Pit/Husky mix to STFU as a puppy. If he barks out the front window, someone is there. If I check it out and there's no threat, I tell him then he forgets it.

Wow! I was unaware of this one. Thanks. :dude:

the damn 'tinsel' was non-conducting Mylar.


Real tin (or lead alloy) tinsel was discontinued primarily due to health concerns over lead poisoning, especially for children, leading the FDA to convince manufacturers to stop production in the U.S. by 1972, replacing it with safer, though less weighty, PVC plastic . The old lead tinsel was heavy, hung beautifully, and didn't tarnish, but it posed risks if ingested or if the lead dust spread, prompting the shift to plastic alternatives.
It never looked as good either, was too light to hang correctly.

Notice the new state capital building isn't there yet so it's pre 1930. Construction was completed in 1932.
