re: Easton Royal state track meet
Posted by CharleyLake on 5/15/26 at 5:23 pm to Tigerpride18
Wade was unforgettable. I watched him win the 100M and 200M at the state
meet at BR in 2002. Barbe did beat Wade and his Evangel teams 4 X 100M relay team which remains he Class 5 A record. Evangel's 4 x 200 squad was DQ'd in the Regional meet.
I am surprised that Brother Martin's 4 x 100 M failed to break that record.

re: New I10 Lake Chuck Bridge groundbreaking was today
Posted by CharleyLake on 5/1/26 at 9:38 am to lsu777
I was told that there is a very limited toll roads on US Interstate highways, perhaps two or three.
I was also told that the project could be less expensive if it were simply a bridge over a river as opposed to its extended I-10 east and west improvements, aesthetic lighting etc. Just asking.

Upon my understanding the I-210 bypass is two to three miles longer from the interchanges than crossing over the new toll bridge. What percentage of motorists will avoid the toll would you guess. Is it likely to be local contractors mostly inclined to use the 210?

Rich yet? We?
I am certainly not by any definition.
I can't speak for you, perhaps you will tell me at the wine mixer.
As opposed to SLI, my wife had acquired her shares with LIT, the exchange traded comprehensive Lithium fund which has increased about 28% in value this year. With the good old Louisiana Community Property law I might be some day if she will keep me.

Ace,
You are asking me about a permit?
The last time I was asked a question concerning Arkansas was "What is the capitol?" I said "A."

The S & P Index increased significantly in the last two sessions since you wrote this.
With your freed cash, pay some of your debt off, if you have any.
It is not for everyone, as I have said before, but if the Index drops about 8% from its highest close, I would buy and sell it when it returns. Save some bullets and purchase more at a drop of 12-13%, and lastly about 18% if it happens. It will return at some point to its previous high at some point.

I transferred my 3/21/26 shares of S & P Index back to the "Stable Value" option yesterday. Not perfect timing, of course, but good enough to turn a handsome profit of 7.01% of my risk. Would I buy more shares if the S & P index drops back to the 6300 category? Absolutely.
Now if SLI would just make us right.

I bought on the dip last year and it paid off well. I did run out of ammo so it took longer for me to recover and profit. I don't see any reason to sit on the sideline this time so purchased more shares in an S & P index fund yesterday with about 30% of my available ammo.
Would I buy more if it dropped to about 5930, which is about 15% off the highest closing date? Talk about an incredibly buying opportunity.
It is not for everyone but I feel that most investors should should at minimum be purchasing stock in an S & P Index fund in small monthly amounts. Upon my understanding the annual return has been 10.6 % since 1957.

An "economic bonanza" would set me right. Thanks.

I am not getting my hopes up either. We have been shareholders for a long time and it has been difficult to avoid disappointment.
Perhaps even though the outcome is so uncertain, I think many of us have an overwhelming ambition to win. If not we would likely have a bad opinion of ourselves.

He did but his job was the cash register. The cooks were Joe Lavergne and Terry Ramirez. I think the Colonial Inn was where Kenny got the burger recipe.

I thought is was closer to Kirby Street. Upon my recollection we went there to see David Allen Coe but I was on active duty at the time.
You are likely correct as to the location because most of the movie houses were under umbrella of the Southern Amusement Company including the Paramount, Arcade, Ritz, either the Delta or Palace, Dixie, Midway, Surf, New Moon, Rice, Yam, and the ones in Jennings and Eunice and possibly the one in Sulphur. The President of the Southern Amusement Company was George Baillio lived on Broad Street at the home next to the Governor's Mansion and always had a new Cadillac. I believed that his grandson was the owner of Gandolf's instead of the manager.

Do you believe that the "old money" did not want the Oil Center" and influenced it to be located in Lafayette? I have always heard that.

K,
Was Gandolfi's located near the court House on Ryan Street?
Do you recall the names of the managers?

It could be more of the norm than you think. I have been retired for a few years but many of us did the same thing at an industry in the Lake Charles area.

The shares are up 30% since you last posted, you say?
Did you last post February 2nd ? Did you see your shadow?

That's got to be it. As I recall he declared he had considerable exposure to some other investments.
