re: Looks like the Yellow Spirit Bus is no more.

Back when they ran $35-50 RT from New Orleans to Dallas, I would take it monthly to go visit a good friend. It was a nice, easy, cheap hour-long flight.

EBR Superintendent opposes St. George School System
Posted by Skenes on 4/29/26 at 2:49 am

President Angela Reams-Brown said the union has multiple concerns about the separation.
quote:
One of the union’s primary concerns is funding.
“They still have not shown anything on paper that says we have the monies we need to run our school system,” Reams-Brown said.
quote:
Westdale Middle School teacher Kirk Green said he is not convinced St. George leaders are accounting for everything needed long term.
“They talk about the school system, they talk about teachers, but do you really understand what all goes into a school to make it run day to day? How many different people need to be there? You know, it’s not just a teacher showing up to teach,” Green said.
quote:
“We’re already short staffed. What are we going to do now when we don’t have the money to pay those number of teachers and paraprofessionals?” asked Green.
Roughly 500 jobs are at risk if voters approve the St. George school district on May 16. Those employees will have to decide to stay with EBR and hope to be reassigned within the district or resign and apply to work in the St. George district instead
quote:LINK
“What are you going to offer them to ask them to stay? What will your retirement system look like? Will you be able to transfer your years of experience from EBR over to St. George, no you won’t, so you’ll be asking them to start all over,” Reams-Brown said.
Reams-Brown said the decision will impact the entire community.
“Whether you have children in school currently, whether you have grandchildren in school currently, whether you have to pay property taxes, all of these individuals will be affected if St. George is allowed to have their own scho
Are Republicans screwed moving forward?
Posted by Skenes on 4/21/26 at 8:44 pm
Seems after the election, Republicans were riding high; they controlled everything; however, nothing has been passed because certain Republicans have been voting against bills. Now they are losing ground in certain states. Is this something to be concerned about?

Posted by Skenes on 4/19/26 at 12:36 pm to Rainier Fog
Skenes is 3-1, and the Pirates have scored 35 runs over his 5 starts. This was the first time they lost a lead this season in which Skenes started; however, he couldn't have earned a win anyway.

Former Tiger baseball players and how they are doing
Posted by Skenes on 4/17/26 at 5:23 am
quote:
Brady Neal, Alabama
Neal, the former LSU catcher, is having a career year in his second season with the Crimson Tide. He has seven home runs, a .375 batting average, and a .656 slugging percentage, setting career-highs in batting average and slugging percentage. His breakout campaign comes after he struggled in his first campaign in Tuscaloosa, only hitting .219 with a .336 slugging percentage last year.
quote:
Mikey Ryan, NC State
After hardly playing as a freshman at LSU, Ryan is hitting .317 with eight home runs and a .585 slugging percentage for the Wolfpack. As the shortstop, he’s helped NC State crack the top half of the ACC standings.
quote:
Ashton Larson, Texas
Larson is hitting .328 with a .512 on-base percentage in 25 starts for the Longhorns this spring. He only has five extra-base hits, but the junior outfielder’s consistency at the plate has helped Texas sprint out to a 28-7 record on the season
quote:
Ryan Costello, Maryland
Costello, who is from New Jersey, returned to the Mid-Atlantic over the offseason, and the decision has paid off. The former Tigers first baseman has 13 home runs and a .627 slugging percentage in 32 starts. He’s tied with projected No. 1 overall pick Roch Cholowsky for third place in the Big Ten in homers.
quote:
Ryan Kucherak, Northwestern
Kucherak broke out for the Wildcats in 2025, with 18 home runs and a .639 slugging percentage in 52 games. The power hasn’t been quite as prolific so far this season, but the shortstop still has seven homers and a .380 on-base percentage.
quote:
Austen Roellig, Arizona State
Roellig transferred to Utah after redshirting in 2024 and impressed as a first-year starter, hitting .341 with just 2 errors in 50 starts while primarily playing third base. He then transferred to Arizona State over the offseason and is hitting .291 with a .404 on-base percentage in 35 games.
quote:
Mic Paul, Washington
As the Huskies’ center fielder, Paul has struggled at the plate in his first season at Washington. He’s hitting .239 with one home run and a .345 slugging percentage in 34 games played.
Brennan Holt, Alabama
Holt has jumped around quite a bit after leaving LSU after his first year. The infielder started nine games at Oklahoma State in 2023 before spending two years at South Alabama, hitting .283 during his time with the Jaguars. Now at Alabama, Holt has become the Crimson Tide’s everyday second baseman and is hitting .281 with a .450 on-base percentage.
quote:
Blaise Priester, Southeastern Louisiana
Priester only had seven at-bats for the Tigers last season, but this year at Southeastern Louisiana, he’s started 32 games and has a .252 batting average with six home runs.
quote:
Zeb Ruddell, Louisiana Tech
After a promising first season at Louisiana Tech, Ruddell has taken a couple of steps back in his production. He’s hitting .173 with a .279 on-base percentage this year after the outfielder hit .278 with nine homers a year ago.
Kaleb Applebey, Austin Peay
Applebey never appeared in a game at LSU, but he has become a trusted arm in two seasons at Austin Peay. The right-hander had eight saves in 18 relief appearances in 2025 and has started five games this season.
Chandler Dorsey, UCF
Dorsey hasn’t pitched since mid-March, as the senior right-hander holds a 10.13 ERA in just 5? innings for the Knights. However, one of his six appearances came against LSU, and in that outing, he didn’t allow a run in 1? innings.

People shooting on this refuse to believe all of these guys made 10+ years in MLB, which is an accomplishment in itself. No, they are not all Hall of Famers, but they did get enough years to even be considered.

Yes, you can generally transfer Jazz Fest tickets, particularly electronic tickets through the AXS app or by handing over physical paper tickets or unfastened wristbands, although official policies often state they are non-transferable.
Tickets are typically transferable until 48 hours before the gates open, and wristbands should be transferred before being tightened.
Key Details on Jazz Fest Ticket Transfers:AXS Tickets/Wristbands: Use the AXS app to transfer electronic tickets or mobile passes directly to another person's account.
Physical Tickets/Wristbands: If you have physical,, un-tightened wristbands or paper tickets, you can physically hand them to someone else.Restrictions: Once a wristband is tightened, it cannot be transferred. Do not tighten wristbands before transferring.
Timing: Transfers may be limited or stop 48 hours before the event begins.
Local Tickets: Local tickets might not be loaded into AXS accounts until the week of the fest.
I can afford a 2k bill, but if I receive a 5+ bill, then things get sticky especially for a pet
re: Pet Insurance
Posted by Skenes on 3/29/26 at 2:59 pm to Roy Curado
This is kinda where I am, but deciding on if the rest is worth it
It is accident + things like cancer then it I want wellness (regular checkups, shots, etc) it add more
Yeah, I don't think the wellness is worth it right now... I mean I'm paying $25 a month already but another 38 a month for wellness. So 68 a month for essentially basic shite and it doesn't even cover everything
Currently, the biggest pet bill I've had is 2k. I was able to pay the emergency bill, but I was worried about bigger issues.
So, luckily, I haven't had any issues, but I currently have three that have been known to have issues (even though my previous two had none), so I bought very basic plans.

How many people participate in this?
Currently looking for my 3, and it isn't bad, but you add a wellness plan, and it becomes extremely expensive.
For those of you who have it, do you have the wellness plan?

re: TSA Precheck……Flying Saturday
Posted by Skenes on 3/29/26 at 12:49 pm to namvet6566
It depends. If it is a slow day, pre-check is available; if it is a busy day, it isn't available. Although they said funding is coming, it should improve with more people coming to work.
I love Delta, which is why I became a member. Have always thought their planes and amenities were a step above everyone else. Taking my first flight of the year for Easter, and noticed the changes as this wasn't common last summer.
I always book Comfort+, so I rarely get that upgrade to first, but now with the multiple levels of Comfort+, I feel the CC should do more. It's more about comfort than status as I don't fly enough for that.

Delta Changes
Posted by Skenes on 3/22/26 at 4:44 pm
I had been reading that Delta was changing Comfort+ and Main Cabin, but trying to book a flight today made me realize how fricking stupid it is. I have always booked Comfort+, but now there are Comfort+ Classic and Comfort+ Premium... You sit in the same area, but one supposedly gives you more miles + same day refund vs e-credit for Comfort+ Classic and fewer miles
The difference in price is almost $100 per flight, so then I looked at Main, and they have 3 tiers now, basic, classic, and premium where you still all sit together but you get more miles, choose seats, board earlier, refund eligible.
As a long-term Delta flier (joined SkyMiles in 2012) who takes 3-5 flights a year these changes aren't great at all. For what use to be standard as a Platinum SkyMiles Member is now costing more and there is less chances of a free upgrade.

Had someone fly out on Wednesday. I brought them for 3:30 (5a.m. flight). They said it took 33 minutes with TSA Pre and 45ish without. Picked them up Friday at 8p.m. and I didn't see a line.
