I’m sure there’s a reason I’m still sitting here watching this disaster, but I can’t figure out what that is

Because that area isn't owned/part of Lamar Dixon. It's the Cajun Industries Soccer Complex, used by the Ascension Flight Soccer Club

Maybe if there were enough kids playing baseball/softball in AP to have a club/organization that could partner with a business to build it, it would have happened.

You can drive down to the Sazerac House in New Orleans and pick these up when the doors open virtually every day of the week. There is a 90 day jail on these, when you buy one they take your ID and you can't buy again until the 90 is up. But they are available

re: 10 more SEC Wins locks in a Top 8 Seed

The bottom of the league is so bad this year, probably going to have 4-5 teams north of 20 wins, that's not going to be an automatic national seed like years past

Florida player who was in a car accident a few years ago. He had just started at SEC network when he had the wreck

Better tour/experience - Churchill Downs or Keeneland

Going to be in the Louisville-Lexington area for a week in June. I'll have time to probably tour one of the 2 tracks. I'm a total horse racing novice, I might watch the KY Derby once every couple of years. Is one of these better than the others to just check out and tour?

Do other teams have all these “fans” that desperately want their teams to fail? Or is this another uniquely Louisiana thing

Yes, there are obviously a ton of criminals from 62 years ago who are suddenly reaching out to confess their part in the assassination of a president.

The "he's never wrong" crowd is almost as annoying as the "he's always wrong" crowd from the other side

Has a significant tornado ever touched down inside the Baton Rouge city limits

I have a very distinct memory of being in a closet as a tornado went right by as a kid living in Monticello Subdivision about 40 years ago. I guess that's not technically city limits, nor do I know how "significant" it was, but it was enough to make me know I never want to do it again

SURELY there is a way to get into your Gmail account after switching phone numbers right?

The "correct" way to do it is to turn off 2 factor authorization before the switch. Then once you have the new number, turn 2 factor back on. Doesn't help you now, but if you think this will happen again in the future with her, it will save you from jumping through all these hoops again
