My family lived in Dubai during the '79 Islamic Revolution.
My dad was an electrical engineer working for an oil company. There were a lot of Louisiana baws in Dubai at that time.
There was serious concern that Iran would invade. My dad's company strongly suggested that their employees' families head back to America until things settle down.
My mom refused. She wanted to stay with my dad, and the thought of having to live with my grandmother made living under an Islamic state preferable.
Anyway, my dad's company set up a number of contingency plans.
If Iran were to invade, the first plan was to head to the airport. The company had a number of planes gassed and on 24 hour standby.
If you couldn't make it to the airport, they had boats waiting at a port that could ferry employees and their families to oil rigs in the Persian Gulf. And hopefully get them out of the country from there.
If you couldn't make it to the port, they had a few helicopters that could bring some people to the oil rigs.
I can't remember if there was another plan in place if all those plans failed. I just remember Iran invading was a real concern at the time.

As a kid and teen, MTV was on my bedroom TV 24/7.
I lived in Dubai as a kid, and we had very little access to American pop culture.
When we moved back to the States, my sister and I were blown away by what we saw on MTV. My mom hated it. Especially Madonna.

I once accidentally left a half gallon of milk in the back of my truck for a week.
It spoiled, then expanded, then blew up.
The smell was like 40 hobos with fresh perms riding a city bus.
What I did was use the carpet cleaner at the local carwash - the one that sprays the carpet cleaning foam and then extracts it - to get as much of it out as possible.
I then sprayed everything down with an enzyme killer spray.
Used the carpet cleaner again.
I did this a few times. It didn't completely eliminate the smell, but made it tolerable enough that I didn't gag everytime I got in the truck.

I'm old enough to remember when the dickhead Harahan cops would pull you over for illegal tint, and make you peel it off on the side of the road before they let you go.
re: High school and college rings
Posted by boxcarbarney on 1/8/26 at 9:28 am to LSUTANGERINE
I have no idea where my high school ring is. Lost to time. But I doubt it would fit me today.
I rarely wear it, but my LSU ring still fits.
Now my dad, he wore his LSU ring all the time.
His on the left, mine is on the right

Every day, while driving home from work, I cross the Luling Bridge knowing that once I get over it there will be some dipshit driving below the speed limit in the left lane with a mile long line of cars behind it.
Half the time its an 18 wheeler going 0.0001 mph faster than the 18 wheeler its trying to pass.
The other half its some dipshit in a Nissan Altima playing on their phone.

re: What drives taste in music?

Like most things in life, its probably multiple factors.
What you were exposed to as a child
What your friends listened to
Whether or not you play an instrument
Later in life, I suspect nostalgia plays a big factor.
