Friend,

The Arts Board has, like all of TD, rapidly declined over the last five years, in no small part due to the politically obsessed and provincial minded gnats who buzz incessantly with bad news and conspiracy theories aplenty. I agree that iwyLSUiwy is the best suited to keep that group at bay as well as reign in the TV show addicts and comic book kids who lower the intellectual discussions to that of a middle school level.

Friend,

Tulane’s cost per year with tuition, fees, room and board is now $90,000/year. Each year it increases approximately 4%. When I was there in the early 2000s it was, before scholarships, around $30,000 without room and board, as I lived at home and walked or took the streetcar to school. When I transferred to Delgado, it was only $150 per three hour class and the fees were all of $200 a semester. I checked Delgado’s current prices and even now it is $5700 with fees, though, it does not indicate if that is per semester or per year.

LSU’s tuition used to be heavily state subsidized. I think it was around 2010 when the state stopped giving as much tuition subsidy to the state medical schools and tuition jumped in one year from $12,000 a year to nearly $30,000.

Although I am buying a little each day this week, my empty out the coffers number is 27,777 on the DJI. It is 3777 for the S&P.

Everyone is aware of your mastery of Greek, so we will chalk up

10-15 years ago, like most of Besh’s restaurants, Domenica was very good. Even its pizza, which is now below average, was good. Today, I cannot recommend it.

Friend,

They call that livin’ up there.

Impastato’s is better than the best old Sicilian restaurants in NY. I see people here recommend Bamonte’s all the time, and I scratch my head because Impastato’s on its worst day is better than Bamonte’s on its best day. And before Andrea’s closed, Metairie could claim one of the best northern Italian food scenes in all of our nation.

Friend,

Only foolhardy morons would have believed marijuana use was good for the general public. Smoking a toxic, mind altering substance has always been bad for people; it just took legalization of it to provide the data to show just how bad it is. This is likely the tip of the iceberg and I expect many forthcoming studies in the decades to come to show other negative outcomes, from psychiatric illnesses to cancers. Shame on those who used their power and money to trick the public into believing marijuana had an overall positive effect on health.

Friend,

We fly the New Orleans direct to Seattle at least once every year. It has never not been on time for us. I agree with the poster who said it is the best airline in America.

Louis Lipps' Crab Trap

The recent best soft shell crab post was remiss in not mentioning this shack of a restaurant, even if it is no longer there. Peavine’s initially sourced their crabs from Lipps before he opened his own camp up as a restaurant. Those were as fresh a soft shell as is possible, often being served within an hour of the crab shedding its shell.

Frenier’s Landing, though, is not nearly as good as Middendorf’s.

We saw it last night. It was a beautiful remake. The songs were lovely, the dwarves entertaining, and the visuals spectacular. It is much more watchable than the original.
