You may want to look into a product called Generlink. If it meets code in your vicinity, it's my understanding that the power company will do the install. They aren't cheap but it's basically a cartridge or module that stabs onto your electric meter between the base and the glass readout section.

Not to mention he's the kind of guy you would follow through the gates of hell. Natural leader because he leads by example.

Dang! I would love to see what the Old Revetments looked like. I would imagine all of the rocks would be visible with the tide that low. When I was a kid the rocks were all visible, all of the time, even with an extreme high tide. Not anymore. 60+ years of silt and settlement have made them more of a navigation hazard than a fish haven.

Back when ducks were plentiful in SWLA we hunted flooded sweet potatoes and killed like crazy. My dad would take two weeks of vacation during duck season and we would hunt the same blind every day for two weeks and would shoot easy limits every hunt. You couldn't run them off, but again, ducks were very plentiful. I'm talking 50's to early 70's. I always thought it was the vines they were interested in.

My dad was from Avoyelles Parish and he made a dish with goo that just had a white roux gravy. No tomato. So not a traditional court bouillon.

He would take a whole goo, minus the head, season it with salt and pepper, flour it real good, put it in a skillet rubbed with just enough oil to keep it from sticking. Throw a little chopped onion in and then cover and slow cook. Try to avoid adding water while cooking. If you go slow the fish will produce it's own liquid.

The most important part of the recipe was in how you cleaned the goo. A goo has a white fat on the inside of the belly. Don't remove that fat. The fat will render as the fish cooks and make the gravy. The dish has a very strong fishy odor. But if it doesn't run you out of the house while it's cooking, it's delicious over rice. Lots of bones of course.

I think those are supposed to be pirate pistols reminiscent of Jean Laffite. Nothing to do with Civil War.

Most people who have caught COVID claim to be mask wearers.

I've read enough of your posts to know that you are smart enough to know that what people "claim" and what they actually do is often two different things. They get sick and to avoid embarrassment (or maybe blame if grandma died) they claim they were wearing a mask. It's just human nature. But wearing a mask by itself isn't a guarantee. All parties have to be masked to achieve an effective result. And it should be coupled with social distancing and hand washing.

Look, I've seen hospitals with outrageously high staph infection rates that turned the trend around almost overnight by imposing a mandatory rigorous hand washing policy for employees. I know this is viral and not bacterial but the concept is the same. Prevention measures most often help.

Is that you Senator McCarthy....lol!

I'm not fool enough to believe you can bring the infection rate to zero by wearing masks. That was never the intent. But there's no point in debating the effectiveness vs ineffectiveness of masks when a significant portion of the population is still hosting or attending superspreaders on a regular basis. Bars, restaurants, funerals, weddings, political rallies, and so forth, where people are likely to ignore social distancing and un-mask, completely negate any arguments against mask wearing based on rising numbers of infections. It's like someone drilling holes in a boat hull then saying bilge pumps are useless and ineffective. The entire premise of your argument is just like that boat hull. Full of holes.

Now, on the other hand, if you have enough people in that boat, that are willing to work for the common good, you can keep that boat afloat. All it takes is for everyone to stick their fingers in the holes. You will still get some water seeping in, but you will slow the leaks down enough so that the pump can keep up. Will anyone be inconvenienced? Absolutely! After all, you can't operate an iPhone when you have your fingers stuck in a hole. But at least no one drowns. Don't make the mistake of getting distracted by the politics or whatever. Wear the mask. Wash your hands. Social distance. Take the vaccine. It would be a shame to lose your life or the life of a loved one when the end of the war is so near.
