On the other hand, those 50 dipping sauce containers could have been used as a good defensive attack weapon. Grab a handful and throw like a semiautomatic.

You seem to paint with a wide brush. More like your assumptions.
Care to share what you do for a living so we can make our assumptions on your profession?
That brush paints in both directions.
No I’m not a teacher.
re: HB1038 regarding City Marshals in Louisiana

I know both of them well. I think highly of both of them.
I have heard stories about both that would reflect negatively on their character, however I personally never experienced anything like that.
Fontenot appeared to come from a positive place, and supported his position with verifiable facts in an in person videoed interview.
Cooks has only gone on social media and that resulted in mud slinging, name calling and getting people emotional. That is what you do, when you don’t have facts to defend your position. This appears to be a common sense fiscal bill and nothing more.
Unfortunately, the current political climate does not always have the stomach to do the right thing. We will know by June 1st.
The bill does not reduce nor eliminate any services or enforcement duties for the Marshal’s office. Only the funding. You decide which side you feel is right.
Who supports the bill? Cities, Parishes, Sheriff’s Association, DA’s
Who opposes the bill? Marshall & Constables Association

Bill is specific to cities / districts with less than 40,000 population.
From memory, so I can be not 100% correct.
Current -
Marshall’s do not create their funding, have no resource to produce funding, thus Marshall’s rely on City funding the operating costs.
Marshall has no liability insurance for appointed / non-paid reserve deputy Marshall’s.
Marshall can hire as many deputy Marshall’s and the city pays salary, benefits and insures liability.
Cities have no authority over the Marshall’s office.
Marshall salaries are outrageous, and not set by the city.
Thibodaux Marshall makes around $157,000 and some make over $300,000 yr.
Proposed -
City has to approve the number of Deputy Marshall’s employed.
City has some oversight.
Does not remove any authority or powers from the Marshall, only funding authority.

This all falls under the category of WGAF.
They are consenting adults doing what they want to do.
Only need to answer to their families.
Outside of that, it’s none of our business.
Similar situations exist at many work places - probably in your own backyard.

Just wait till a couple of hours prior to landfall and then depart.
Roads are usually clear since many took off earlier and were stuck in traffic.
By that time, you will better know the path of the storm and which direction will be best to travel towards.

re: My parents are in their late 70’s and refuse to create a will
Posted by zuluboudreaux on 4/28/26 at 12:34 pm to HoustonGumbeauxGuy
My parents did not have a will. Died 5 years apart. 5 children, all living.
All 5 kids always got along (good parenting).
When my dad called us together prior to his passing, he said he wanted hospice & I was in charge of his money (I was already doing all his bills and organized everything after my mom passed.)
After his passing, the kids met, I told them there would be total transparency. I went to the family attorney and he did both successions.
Everything was divided equally, we also have a “cemetery fund’ that we created for upkeep.
Never had a disagreement over the money.
We each got the item's we wanted out of the house.
Had an estate sale for the contents of the house.
We sold the family house to a nephew at a discount, because it was important to keep it in the family.
It can be done easily but everyone needs to be selfless and avoid bullshite petty differences.
Now if you have a brother or sister that passed away that had kids, it can get more complicated.

Catholics don’t know their bibles…
Which is a better person,
A) A person who can quote scripture but doesn’t really practice what the preach.
B) A person who follows the Bible’s teachings, but cannot quote scripture chapter & verse, and lives their life trying to emulate the life of Jesus Christ, in their everyday prayer and actions.
My faith revolves around practicing / following the 10 Commandments, the 8 Beatitudes, 7 Corporal Works of Mercy and proclaim my faith by the words of the Nicene Creed.
I think both the Bible quoting crowd and the practicing Catholics can both exist in harmony. One is no better or worse than the other, just different but for the same goal, to get to heaven.
