Near Ocean Drive?

My buddy and I were on a trip from Baton Rouge to Salt Lake City to go skiing in January 1977. Christmas break from LSU, driving a Fiat sedan. Just short of Lubbock, on a Saturday afternoon, the back end started shaking. The A frame was cracked and the local Fiat dealer couldn't fix it until Monday. The car was drivable but only up to about 35 mph. Just got a cheap hotel room and watched playoff games and got loaded all weekend. Was lucky to get out Monday afternoon because they found a used part to replace it. New one from Houston would have been another day or two.

Bought some yesterday at the Breaux Mart in River Ridge.

I agree with Stadium Rat on everything except the parboiled rice. As someone who grew up on a rice farm, I have never in my life used it and never will. To me it will spoil the taste and texture of the Jambalaya. I always use green onions and parsley at the end along with bay leaf and thyme added with the trinity. I can tell the difference when those are not used.

I work as a volunteer for the Zurich in New Orleans as a walking scorer. About 10 plus years ago I had Fulton Allem (South African) in the group I was following. This was at English Turn before moving to TPC. He was not happy with some of his shots on the first few holes and had let a few choice words loose. He also buried his iron in the front of the tee box on the par 3 3rd hole. On no. 5 he pulled his tee shot into the pampas grass bushes that lined the left side of the hole. As we walked down the fairway to where the marshals were searching for his ball, he was cursing up a storm. His caddy reached the bushes before us and set the bag down to help with the search. When Fulton reached the area he was so pissed that he picked up the bag and dumped it upside down into one of the other bushes next to the one they were searching. I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing. The caddy didn't think it was very funny because he had to dig all the clubs out of the bush. It was even less funny when on the next tee box he realized he was missing a club. He had to detour back over to the bush to dig out the missing club.

My wife is 60 years old, I don't think he wants anything to do with her. LOL

How long is he out? one of our best shooters, we need him back

Watched the game on replay last night on ESPN watch. Probably available for some time since some older games are still available. Very smooth and made some very nice passes, but had a lot of turnovers. Understandable in high school due to pace these teams play at. Gorman had 30+ turnovers and I'm sure Montverde had 20+ at least. As someone earlier said, more like Magic than LBJ, because of the passing and court vision.

I think UCF may be 1st by next year. Steadily closing the gap. 4 of top ten in the state of Florida.

Was just driving by on Perkins and saw the truck. Being from N.O. I had never had a chance to try it. Had heard about them and wanted to try it but never knew where they would be. Came on TD to post and found already posted. Shoulda checked here first and then I would have been sure to get here. Good burger and great fries. Had the Brian. They are closing up right now.
