re: Who else didn't know Lake Pontchartrain was a top 5 U.S. destination for deadly sharks
Posted by FCP on 2/25/26 at 4:28 pm to PelicanState87
Trawled for shrimp in Lake Ponchartrain for years. Even jumped over the side and dove under the skiff several times to untangle the trawl from the propeller. All those hours puttering across the lake, we never even thought about sharks—much less saw one.

My company gives techs one free fishing day every year: Just notify management before the start of shift. And, you get another with 24hr notice. Both no questions asked. After that, there’s paperwork.
About half the crew has already burned through both days already this year.

re: Rent a house in a desirable school district

quote:Short answer: Yes.
Can I rent a house in a desirable school district and use it to register my kids in the schools despite residing elsewhere?
At least you could 20 years ago in Livingston Parish. There was an older home down the road from us that was rented by folks out of BR so their kids could attend Live Oak. Seems like they had 3-4 kiddos, all around high school age. They would ghost the place most of the time, but occasionally the kids would have parties out there. If anyone would have done the most cursory examination, they'd have figured out the ruse. OTOH, I guess the property owner paid property taxes, so it wasn't technically illegal.
re: Just got my homeowner insurance renewal in

quote:I did the math on my recent renewal. Four vehicles, 2 only liability. Ages 1992, 2008, 2010, 2016. And, I’m paying $500/mo. Got a teenage driver on the policy, so that’s a lot of it, but $6K a year is frigging ridiculous.
auto renewal and for a 6 month term it went down $200.
Put up a few of those at our place. Didn’t realize they came with a free month of online backup. Finally went through and watched the motion-activated clips on there. Realized it was mostly just some SOB walking out the door of my house and taking a piss in the driveway. a-hole was wearing my hat.

But extra sauce is free at CF.
Also, in the TMI category, young FCP was raised on a farm with 1,000+ tomato plants annually. Something about feeding a metric ton of the "defectives" from that many plants to the chickens caused the smell of tomatoes to be a gag-reflex worthy event.

SIL bought me a pair of gloves that can be used with a phone screen. Probably paid $5 at the most. I keep them in the pockets of my heavy jacket, and they make me happy every time I pull them on.
Driveway to my house is 1/2 mile wrapped around a field. That's my decompression zone every day. Doesn't matter what BS happened at work. I leave that shite at the road and enjoy the couple of minutes it takes to idle down the gravel drive and get parked. Bonus points for kiddos meeting me at the truck.

re: Patriots 10 @ Broncos 7 Final - CBS

Don't know if this has been discussed already, but WAFB/DirecTV has been glitching badly on both the app and via old-school satellite for me. It plays but with the video screwing up every couple of seconds.
Figured out a workaround if anyone is interested. CBS Sports has an app with the game. It requires your DirecTV credentials, but it streams the game glitch-free.
Again, apologies if this has already been discussed. Just figured I'd give y'all my $0.02.

especially Delilah
Anyway, after spending 3 months among our brothers to the frozen north, we crossed the border and soon had the radio tuned to whatever local (US) channel was nearby. And that channel had Delilah, which was somewhat nice. Still annoying as ever but refreshing as pretty much the only English we heard that entire summer.
This was pre-smartphone and even pre-XM radio. We had some few national TV channels with English, but the French immersion was pretty widespread where we were.

Dunno, but I had a coonass acquaintance who ended up in Germany as a missionary or something. He talked about driving the Autobahn and flinging apple cores out of the sunroof at 150MPH.
Which, littering or not, sounds like something I’d probably try.
