Arrivals via Runway 29 are pretty unique for MSY.
That’s $231/hr every hour they’re open. And I’d imagine the average sale is less than $20 so we’re talking about a theft every 5 min.

Insane.

Son should’ve gone to Hampden Sydney and partnered with a wealthy classmate to roll up trade companies. :lol:

Stitch golf polos are my favorite. Peter Millar summer comfort is a close second.

If the allegations were proven false he could be reinstated.


It’s tough because it also gives those who want to falsely accuse a priest the opportunity to punish them.

Our HS Chaplin was falsely accused by a shitbag kid at school who was trying to get out of doing mandatory service hours. Thankfully this was pre-social media so the “temporary leave” during the investigation wasn’t that public but it was still embarrassing for the priest when he returned.

We’re very close with a Catholic priest that was part of the very small group of Episcopal priests that converted in the 90’s. He describes how difficult it is/was to choose between his family obligations and ministering to his Parish.

The day to day stuff (finances & admin) was easy. That’s stuff all men with children manage. It’s the true ministry that complicated things.

Like 2 years and half the time he was recovering from hip surgery.

Handling of this was far from ideal.
This is dumb. The major diaper manufacturers give millions and millions of diapers away to hospitals each year for this very purpose.

Depends on the engine; if it is a 2UZ-FE I would change it no matter what it looks like. That is an interference engine, so if the belt fails, it means catastrophic failure.


I thought that was the only one they put in that gen of Tundras?

I have the 2UZ in my LC100. Bulletproof except for that belt!

Just say no to all of this. Find a 2021 Tundra with low miles and that has been well maintained.


Have you don’t a nationwide search for 2020-2021 with less than 50,000 miles?

Needle in a haystack to find a 4x4 not from the north or Rockies that’s under $45k with leather.

I had to stop by the dealership to get a new key fob for my 2018 4Runner about a year ago. I asked one of the parts guys what he thought of the new Landcruiser. He said, "I'd drive that 5th Gen 4Runner until the wheels fall off."


This is my dilemma right now. I want a truck again but do I get a new Tundra with the twin turbo? Or stray from Toyota into a GMC 6.2L or Ford 5.0 coyote

The original timing belt still looked good to go at 298K..


Dude. Change your timing belt!

Did you miss the part about storm surge (rising water)?
If storm surge or a falling tree isn’t of concern, just stay put and leave after storm passes should there be extended power outages.

ATL Airport Rental Car employees working the post-evening arrivals when there’s been weather delays are the worst.

Zero preparation, making up rules as they go, only fueling the chaos.

I would say kids should have a conversation with their parents about their estate plans. Even if it’s as simple as where the will is located/which attorney drafted it, and general burial/funeral instructions.

Developer out of Lafayette bought them to construct a mix use development. IIRC project filed bankruptcy and sat with banks for years. Someone recently acquired it but not sure of their plans.

Original plan with the EBR Sewer overhaul of the mid 2000’s was to shudder and demolish that treatment plant. It never happened and that killed most interest in developing the land further.

Ehh…Mountain Brook is one of the 30 wealthiest subdivisions in the US. I would describe it closer to a shopping area in a ski resort town in the summer.


I’m very familiar with Mountain Brook. I’m noting that the open air complex and surrounding neighborhoods would be the Bham version of Towne Center, Bocage, and Old Goodwood. It’s your old money crowd that is hood adjacent but overall safe.

The Mall of Louisiana is like the Galleria.

Mountain Brook, AL has similar proximity to Birmingham’s culcha as BR and its Villages Mixed Use district infinitely nicer than the Mall of LA.


The Mountain Brook shopping district is more akin to Towne Center.
