Did a 10-day jaunt through London - Paris - Rome 2 years ago. I did fine with my old clodgy suitcases. I noticed our Pro tourguide - who is gone most of the year travelling - used the bag linked below. He says he had never had a moment's trouble with it, and used it instead of a suitcase - personals and all. LINK

At LSU in the 70s, loved the Uncle Ben's Fried Chicken on Nicholson, and the Mickey's Golden Nugget that took its place there. Sure wish someone would use that old Uncle Ben's recipe on some modern day chicken...

After my second Dodge Ram died at 200k+ miles, it was time to downsize. I am 6'7" and have to try on cars. Not only for legroom, but to see if my head hits the ceiling and lets me comfortably see out the front. The Acadia was the only car that actually fits me comfortably. I was skeptical about the smaller engine, laughed at its 'turbo' moniker, but the power it has surprised me. More than once, my wife has fussed about me 'peeling out' for quick entries into traffic.. The rearmost seats are almost useless for adults, but four people can ride comfortably. Fuel economy - coming from a pickup - is what dreams are made of. From just below a quarter tank, a fillup is $35.

Dislikes - the push button transmisson! I keep reaching for the shift lever that's not there.. As for long term service, I bought it at 17K and am just reaching 24K, so no long track record there. But for the moment I am quite happy.

Measure the viewing distance from your normal seat to the screen. Now measure your screen diagonally. In the store, stand the same distance from the screen, and see which one looks the best. If your TV is not sitting in a tight cabinet, go up one size and see which one looks best to your eye, and get that one.

Understand that not all these display TVs are 'set up' for optimum viewing by the store, but you can judge pretty well anyway.

Don't be fooled by the splendidly sharp 4K pictures!! They are running video files produced just for the showroom. It will be years before you will be getting 4K streams like that into your home TV. Rig for Standard HD for the next 5 years.

For me, I tend to go with LGs first and Samsung second. This after seeing LG worldwide in hotels seeing heavy use each day. If I were a rich baller, I would go with Sony, but that's Michael Jackson money there. Maybe one day. That said, the TCLs that Walmart sells have come a long way in picture quality and longevity.

The answer is Jennifer Donelan. Great journalist.

Cozy Corner for ribs, cornish game hen or bologna sammiches. Close to St Jude. Pies there are wonderful too.

To catch up. The house was constructed after the 2016 flood, so its 8-9 years old. We are in the Watson area. Termites are certainly a possibilty.

Newspapers are getting harder to find en bulk, and my wife hates me storing them through the year. What are the in-the-know folks moving to? And thank you!

Much depends on where you live. The BTR market is split between VHF and UHF. And, although most of the broadcast antennas are across the Mississippi from Brusly and Plaquemine, there are some low power stations scattered around too. I live in the Watson area, so all the stations line up perfectly for me to my S/SW. I use a UHF and a VHF antenna on a mast in my attic. Being digital, you can combine their downloads (use a splitter installed backwards!) into one wire. Both antennas came from Newark Electronics. VHF: 30-2476 for $43, and for UHF: a 30-2431 for $45. Both are on a mast in my attic. If you are feeding multiple sets, you might need an amplified splitter.. Two items: in shopping, there is NO such thing as a digital antenna! Antennas are antennas. And those reception mileages are for optimum conditions that you never have, and for desert-like terrain that you don't have either.

Am now in the 200k+ phase of my SECOND Dodge Ram 1500 Truck. The first was a 1998 Manual transmission. Had to replace the clutch at 170k and sold it to my son at 201k. No other issues with that vehicle. My current Ram is a 2011, bought after the flood from CarMax. Now cruising along at 205k, and again, no huge repair bills, nothing. I have nothing but accolades for the builds on these vehicles. Would certainly buy another.

Donut Shop - Donuts, tamales, but a lady in Vidalia told me their best product might be their burgers. Big and Juicy.

Malt Shop-old fashioned drive up burger stand. Frito pies, that sort of thing. Cash only.

Across the river in Vidalia, The Cafe. Great breakfast spot.

Nearby in Ferriday (FER-i-dee) is the Delta Music Hall of Fame. Check their website for hours, as its kinda weird..

City Cemetery - Key in on the Turning Angel, and the Florence Ilene Ford grave. Worth an hour.

Natchez City Hall - check out the tombstone for 'Tripod, The Citys Kitty" Interesting backstory about 9 minutes in.

Tripod's Story

Owned my small biz LLC for just over a year. Now I am being told to file an Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR). At $140!! I never heard of this when signing up with the state. Is this legit? Many thanks...
