Retired back to Baton Rouge after living in BHM for a decade... good God do I miss that town and its food and musical scene.
Great suggestions in this thread. Enjoy them all for me, will ya.
And if you wander into the heart of the SEC at Salem's Diner in downtown Homewood, enjoy the history and tell Wayne that "LSU" says hello. He'll know.

re: Rumor has it that Publix grocery is coming to the Harveston development
Posted by DoctorTechnical on 2/15/26 at 5:08 pm to King of New Orleans
Publix comes in a variety of sizes, including ones down to 20,000 to 25,000 sq. ft. The downtown Birmingham store is one of those smaller stores, and it just ain't the same as the regular Publix stores.

After Katrina, I moved into the Jackson neighborhood where Brad lived.
So yes, I can say that for a short while I lived... wait for it...

Not a single one showed up for dinner
Way-back-on-the-list girlfriend convinced me to fund her thing of buying cheap dollar-store cookies for the raccoon krewe at NOLA City Park. Yes, we were some of the folks feeding them, and I was thankful when the City made the raccoons go away..
Interesting creatures. As were the raccoons, too.

I was thinking about your service today. An engineer-friend's city in Belzoni, MS got hard-hit, but it looks like they are OK.
God Bless you for your service.

I enjoyed the F&DB mini-GT. I was looking for your booth and found the group chatting about TD and your bread. One loaf of the White Chocolate is already devoured, the other (thank you, you really didn't have to do that) is sliced up and in the freezer.
To the group, Mr. Rabbit is quite the talker when it comes to both the legacy and current BTR restaurant scene, as I suspect he's seen a thing or two.
re: Ace Hardware provides one of the best shopping experiences in 2026 America
Posted by DoctorTechnical on 1/9/26 at 6:08 pm to weagle1999
My only beef has been when -- long-ago during the early stages of wokeism -- ACE changed their classic radio jingle from "with the helpful hardware man" to "helpful hardware folks".
To this day it still just doesn't sound right.
Also miss the original Southdowns Hardware on Perkins, and it's short-lived replacement up the road in the Acadian Perkins Plaza Shopping Center.
Yeah I know: old man mumbles at cloud.

re: Selling/shipping heavy items, paging AntiqueTiger
Posted by DoctorTechnical on 12/28/25 at 2:30 pm to Ingeniero
In my craft, we receive and ship lots of electronics. Best I can tell you is to use stiff foam (almost but not Styrofoam) to suspend the unit by securely supporting the sides, to the point where the top and bottom are not touching the box. You'll need to cut out a "well" on each side, being careful that the left- and right-most buttons do not support any weight. Rotate your box in three dimensions and see if you head anything loose. And as has been said before: double-boxing is your friend.
re: Cochlear Implants - Any Experience With Them?

quote:I enjoyed when he would tech-talk about the implants, Apparently listening to music was completely borked, given the tech at that time which rendered a non-harmonic metallic sound. Conversation required adjusting some presets depending on the background noise. What he hinted at was plugging headphones and cellphones directly into his ears, via the transponder.
Rush Limbaugh was grateful for his.
