Don't put that blunder on Lacassine. Iowa is much more deserving for owning that black eye.

Gotcha.

but you have to remember...the LC metro area is still only a little over 200k, you arent going to have big city type attractions there as they cant be supported to make it profitable.

See the unfinished waterslide in Lacassine as an example.

I will probably pass it this weekend heading to Sulphur.

Oregon Woman Arrested in Case Involving Runaway Thibodaux Teen

LPSO.net

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced an Oregon woman has been arrested as part of an investigation into a runaway teen from Thibodaux. Roxanne Mocaby, 41, of Redmond, Oregon, has been arrested by authorities in Oregon.

On April 20, 2025, deputies responded to a Burma Road residence in Thibodaux regarding a 16-year-old male who reportedly ran away from home, leaving his electronic devices at home. Through investigation, detectives learned the boy had been in contact with a teenage girl from Oregon on Snapchat. They learned he had told the girl he no longer wanted to live with his adoptive family and planned for the girl and her mother to pick him up. Investigators tracked the girl’s phone back to Oregon and contacted local authorities. Oregon State Police located their vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, identifying the occupants as Mocaby and the two teens. During questioning, Mocaby admitted to knowledge of the situation and her involvement.

Mocaby was arrested and booked into the Harney County Jail on a Lafourche Parish warrant for simple kidnapping and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. She remains in Oregon awaiting extradition to Lafourche Parish. Bail is set at $50,000.

After and during my boss takes a dump he goes HEAVY with the Lysol spray. Entirely too much.

ProTip:

Drop an Air Biscuit in his office when he is out. That way he thinks he farted or sharted himself.

My favorite gag gift for scent conissours is to get a candle that has a nice fragrant smell for the first few minutes and then changes to rotten flesh.

Circle K offered to buy 7Eleven last year for $39B and that was turned down.

---

Didn’t know CircleK was that large of a business to buy out a competitor for 39 Billion?

Or that 7-Eleven was worth that much as a franchise?

Based on my simple math, at 39 billion for 7,500 stores, that comes out to about 5.2 million for each location.

That is a lot of gas, lotto, booze, cigarettes, junk food, slurpees, hot dogs that have been sitting on the rollers since last week, gas station sushi that will burn a hole in your digestive system, and fountain drinks.

I really don’t understand why Louisiana doesn’t just do it like that. It’s so easy. I go to a mechanic, get the emissions test for $20 then go across the street to HEB and register it at the money center. 30 minutes for the whole thing and I’m done. No mailing. No waiting on the mail. Hell I’m sure they’ll get to a point where it’s all digital. No sticker. It’s all tied to the vin/license plate.

Sounds like more than the hassle we have now.

Now we just go to an approved Inspection Center. It could be a local gas station with a garage a car dealer, or city inspection facility.

The worker will jot your information down, and check for your turning lights and horn. They peel off the old sticker and give you another one good for one or two years. They also do the emissions test if you live in a specific parish.


Now places like Orleans parish and the city of Kenner have their own inspection system and tags. I guess they cut the state in on the juice for having their own tags.


But I am with most people, just end it and add an extra 10 dollars a year to your vehicle registration fees if this is about money.


But you will hear cries about having safe vehicles on the road and how the money raised is used for state police or DOTD operations. And not having tags could increase insurance rates.

I think the spring festival was Lockport. It got renamed and moved to raceland. It was last weekend. Actually had kings of Leon play Friday night. Masquerade and contra flow played sat night.

---

Lockport always had La Fete du Monde. They just moved it to take advantage of the space the parish built near the tourist center.


Larose had its own fair in the spring and there was for a few years even a 5k over the overpass. It was also a weekend of sports activities too. But like with anything, too many events eventually you reach a diminishing return. That was the Larose Spring Festival. Heck even one year they tried holding it earlier in the spring to avoid Jazz Fest and the Thibodaux Firemen’s Fair, but that blew up in their face and they lost money.

I think Bless Your Heart is now filling that void of a spring fair next weekend with a new Yomamma’s Dish and Dash.

French food festival in Larose for the best food. All them old mawmaws spend all day cooking

They used to also have a Spring Festival too, but I think they axed it due to declining attendance.

This coming weekend is probably the end of decent fair and festival weather. The rest of the summer is too hot unless it is held indoors with air conditioning like the Gheens fair that is inside the community center.


Also fishing rodeo season kicks off. It used to be a few big fishing rodeos, like the Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo, but now there are several smaller rodeos for various causes and purposes crowding the season.

My problem with the project has always been the cost. 3 billion is a lot of coin for what amounts to a break even project. On the other side of the river, Mardi Pass and Neptune Pass are running free. Now the corps wants to contain one of them with rocks for 20 million.

I know utility and road relocation are not cheap, but 3 billion for a cement lined channel and a glorified culvert/pump station in the levee are way too much. Then you allocated 500 million for fisheries relief that may never come to pass.

A smaller project to help stabilize fresh water and terraces along the coast would work better and maybe even a sediment pipeline to dump sand and other sediment in selected areas by the terraces to build land.
