Carnegie was a true philanthropist. His goal was to give away the bulk of his wealth, which was substantial, before he died.

So he wants it to be dark at 5pm all year long? Awfu

It will get dark a few minutes after 7:00p in late June, but the sun will come up around 5:00a in Louisiana.

My grandmother always thought I looked like Magnum, P.I. because I was tall and wore a baseball cap (not the Tigers), shorts and the occasional Aloha shirt. The girls 50 years younger were not as enthralled.

I miss my Maw-Maw.

will be interesting when/if this eventually all this comes out.

Off duty sees the car, I'm assuming gives chase, then radios in. A minute later it is called off, but they ended up on St Bernard Ave to "turn around"

What's that, about 4-5 miles in traffic?

---

There are several unknowns...
The cop who was off duty (working detail?) Radioed in the call. An on Deputy spotted the car as it was entering I-10 East. He/ she called it in that they were entering Orleans Parish. Supposedly, the pursuit was called of less than a minute later.

A minute after starting the pursuit? A minute after entering Orlean Parish? How fast were they going?

Presumably, the pursuit was called off east of the West End/Canal Blvd exits and the JP fell back. But the next exit is St Bernard (I think), we're they came upon the accident scene.

It can't be more than 5 or 6 miles from Causeway to St Bernard Ave. It's probably 3 or 4 from the Parish line to St Bernard Ave.

One time I saw Wolfman Washington play at Rock 'N Bowl. He was WAY more fricked than usual. He kept on breaking his guitar strings and had to put on reading glasses to replace them.

It might have been the most entertaining Wolfman show of my life!

Jane is older than your average boomer. She was over 30 when you weren't supposed to trust anyone over 30. Her whole life of commie activism is just to endear herself to the younger members of a generation she barely fits into.

She's fricking 87. I'd like to say she's senile, but she seems fairly coherent in the interview. That said, she'll still always be a "Commie Bitch" to me.

My father was a pretty easy going guy, who made efforts not to use foul language in front of his herd of children. Except in the case of Jane Fonda. If he heard her name on TV or conversation, the first words out of his mouth were, "that commie bitch".

It's been about 15 years... Maybe I initially heard about it after the 2nd flat, which would have been $600 a piece. But whatever it was, it was ridiculous. And he was stuck.

there a worse group of TSA workers than the ones at MSY?

Yes. The chimpanzees that call themselves baggage handlers.

I swear to God, my flight arrived late on night and there was little to no activity at baggage claim. It took ~45 minutes for our bags to start to appear.

Right side of the face is perfectly bruise aligned with his protruding disgusting cheek. How does one's face saggingly stick out like that?

---

I'd venture to guess that he's on some type of blood thinner, which can lead to some pretty spectacular bruising with any type of injury. And the bruising isn't limited to the point of impact, but can expand as the days go on and the blood migrates.

That may be why his whole cheek is bruised.

That's her.
I've only had about a 5 or 10 minutes experience with her, but she came in pre-op and answered every question and addressed all concerns. She took her time with my 91 year old uncle and left everyone feeling more relaxed about the procedure. A+ bedside manner.
