When I drove back from CA, I didn’t feel at home until East Texas. Finally saw some green after all those miles. I missed the thunderstorms too.

You’ll never be able to duplicate the weather in Santa Monica. Maybe Oregon or Washington State, but get ready for more rain.
My brother is an NP at the ER at BRG. No idea what he makes but he works all the time to avoid home life. We inherited that from our dad. :lol:

I once had a fire roasted dungy at a restaurant in Rutherford, CA. One of my most delicious meals ever. Had butter from forehead to elbows. Just incredible!

Well golly, what could have caused that?!?
ITEP exemptions go to international corporations that make billions, not citizens. We land owners pay all of the property tax owed on the value of our property. Why shouldn’t they?
The legislature can give teachers pay raises if they wanted to. Voters rejected stealing money from dedicated trust funds to pay them. The state could also quit handing out ITEP exemptions and be awash in money to raise teacher pay.
When my oldest daughter turned 18, I took her to the registrar of voters, then to the Post Office the register for the draft. Imagine my surprise!

Saw it in London in 2016. Enjoyed it, but not going to see it again.

Baker’s problem was Judge Parker.

Baker’s problem was white flight, which began before I started 1st grade at Park Ridge in 1973, and continued after I graduated from BHS in 1985. Parker closing Scotlandville High in 1982 and sending half those kids to Baker only exacerbated the white flight. Parents moved to Central, Zachary and Livingston and to private schools. In 1985 BHS was the largest school in EBRP, now it’s barely a 2A school. None of my graduating class of 363 lives in Baker. There are no jobs, very few businesses, just nothing making anyone want to live there. Many of the kids get bused to charter schools in Baton Rouge.
I thought he got shot by pickets riding back to camp in the dark? Just a terrible accident.

Had 7.5” Fri/Sat at my house in MidCity BR. So far just 2.29” today.

She wants to go to Tulane or LSU for a eventual Law degree


$50K+ per year for Tulane, with a lower chance of passing the Bar. I’d pick LSU, tops in Bar passage rate for many years. If you want really cheap SULC is least expensive, but only 50% pass the Bar.
The NWRs in Cenla used to be great for bow hunting, then they opened them up to lottery rifle hunts and open muzzleloader hunts. Even with this minimal level of gun hunting, Lac Ophelia NWR and Bayou Cocodrie NWR are barely better than WMAs now. Deer populations are low and pigs are everywhere. Allowing an open rifle season will just make things worse.

None of this is going to bring up hunter numbers. Fewer kids are interested in hunting in any form. Travel ball for kids and young adults moving to more urban places lessens the old connections with the land, so hunter recruitment is down.
Well, I don’t think there is an answer. EBRP is not going to voluntarily do anything that might help the cause for Amendment 2, and SG won’t say anything that might result in a vote against it. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Side topic: given your name, did you take Zwick for Soviet/Russian politics at LSU undergrad? He was the resident expert on Soviet politics before the SU crashed in 1991.
I think it’s more that queer guys go into the church to try to pray away the gay. The 3 guys I went to HS with, who later came out of the closet were all super religious. 2 baptists, one catholic. They all tried the ministry but it didn’t work out. None of them are pedos, they just sought God’s help to not be gay, but it doesn’t work.

We must be the same age, bc I remember that minimum wage. :lol:

I worked at the LSU entomology lab in a work-study job for that rate.

Woodlawn is one of the magnet schools


Well there’s your answer. Weedlawn is already a Magnet. OP can send his kid there, instead of BRMHS. Problem solved.

Not sure why some guy in Dallas is so invested in EBR Parish schools, but fight on, I guess.
I swear I have recommended Ulysses, Achilles, Ajax and Hector to my daughters for my grandsons’ names. They ignored me, so I have a Brayden who plays travel ball.
I guess I’m not on enough social media bc I never saw a single thing against it.
