1) Petty
2) Seger
3) Springsteen (commie #1)

distant 4) Mellencamp (commie #2)

I typically don't care if a singer or actor has no sense of reality with their politics. It's all part of the act to show their peers that they are part of the liberal club. But Mellencamp's refusal to stand up for the national anthem and, at the same time, acting like he should be a voice of the midwestern farmer is infuriating. I will not listen to his music again, ever.

I think Burrow deserves every accolade LSU can give. Daniels is worthy of a jersey retirement.

Another person that LSU shouldn't ignore is Kevin Faulk. He was a 5 star RB who could have gone anywhere. He chose LSU when it wasn't a popular choice. He helped put LSU back on the map. Let's not forget about him as we hand out lifetime achievement awards.

3132 and I-220 are part of the same partial loop,

This is the correct answer. Shreveport has 3/4 of one loop. If they ever completed the 3132 loop to 220, it would be amazing. But considering 3132 may be the worst highway in North America, I doubt that will happen.

Also, while everyone in here is praising Shreveport's infrastructure, don't forget that I-49 opened up to I-20 30 years ago. They haven't been able to extend it by 3 miles to connect it to I-49 north since then. To think that there will be another "loop" in our lifetime is funny.

Another vote for Travelpro

I have a black, boring Travel Pro backpack. It is perfectly suited for traveling, and I've traveled with it for at least 15 years. I keep waiting for it to break or tear so I can get a fancy one, but it is bulletproof. I'll probably carry this thing on the last plane ride I ever take.

Sleeping in the airport? If not, didn't you increase the price of travel with lodging?

---

No - Our inital plan was to drive to DFW and stay at the airport hotel. The flight out is at 7:00. I realized that we can take an evening flight to DFW for the same price. I'd still need the hotel either way.

Our family just booked our summer vacation flights. However, this year, both our flights in and out will have an overnight layover. In that situation, will we have access to our checked luggage? Or should we just share a carry on and put our next day travel clothes in it?

I travel fairly often, but have never booked a flight with an overnight layover.

Your job as a father is to make sure she knows what good music is, period. I am always so proud when my daughter in college listens to a great song or brings home a great album. Start them young.

Seriously, congrats. That is truly what life is all about.

Now go open a 529.

What's brown and rhymes with snoop?

Hot Southern Maid donuts? I bet I could eat 8-10. Anything else? Maybe 2-3.

Systems analysts typically have a skill set applied to a larger system. For example, many analysts have database admin and SQL skills. Those are used to manage the system and support reporting, etc.

You need to decide what area of IT you want to pursue and build appropriate foundational skills. IF you try to go into IT because "you like to build computers", you'll end up on the Tier 1 help desk as a best case scenario.

I'd suggest using your financial background to go into a technical role in that department. Every accountant I've ever worked with was amazing at Excel, but couldn't use a database for anything. There are plenty of opportunities to combine financial and technical skills.

If you really want to stand out, learn how to implement AI and produce something productive. Every executive in America wants to tell their board they are using AI, but so far, it's almost all a pipe dream. There's serious money to be made by those who figure it out.
