  1. Maybe the guy who was in the middle of St Charles by Walgreens... he threw a bottle in the street after a car honked at him.
  2. Enjoyed the quality combo of Tin Roof (nice craft cocktail bar on the roof of the Pontchartrain hotel) and Igor's (quality dive bar/laundromat). Definitely a yin yang drinking experience and recommend both for very different reasons.
  3. Uh oh... I see the Mississippi from my plane window. Heard taxi to town is way better than Uber
  4. You deserve extra pos rep for the Poison reference
  5. He just needs to show up, flash his Land o' Lakes choppers, wave to the camera and then zip it.
  6. The thought of masses on Napoletani descending on the town is frightening. Utter chaos.
  7. Not totally sure what softshell means but I wear pants by Analog (maybe Burton owns them now) and ColourWear which is a random Swedish brand. Had both for years. Lots of good options honestly. Check out Backcountry.com
  8. Lack of helmet triggering me
  9. Google how much of our fruit and veg comes from Mexico. Then cry. I think I'll buy some tequila today to help me cope.
  10. Allright... I'll bring this here... question I asked elsewhere is I really like to walk. We were originally in the garden district but had to change to a different location. We are now staying the location below... which directions are safe to walk at various times of the day? I'm assuming down to St. Charles is good. Feels like going north towards the French Quarter should be fine (although train stations are not ideal, usually... don't know NO)... same with south towards the Garden District. East maybe OK. West, no bueno. Haven't been to New Orleans since Texas vs Tulane.
  11. If you want to feel drastically better about our construction woes, you should drive through the center of Taos, NM sometime. It has a been a variation of this since the popular insurrection and murder of Governor Charles Bent...
  12. Good news were 1 1/2 blocks from St. Charles. I'll be Ubering from the airport and there are 10 of us together but, again, I like to walk. Better do it with a scowl.
  13. Update... looks like we're now going to stay here? Is death imminent?
  14. Lake Travis totally going up .00001" today
  15. Pretty pretty pretty good...
  16. Sometimes. Talk to locals and they'll tell you that not every Autovelox has a camera in it. Sometimes they move them around, sometimes they get stolen. Most rentals have navigators that note them on the map. The highways have a Safety Tutor system for speeding but somehow a ton of people don't get tickets for hauling ass. I'm usually skirting about 10 kilometers per hour over the limit on the autostrada. Somehow never gotten a ticket. Parking? Different story. Don't get one. It can be a gargantuan PITA (and I speak Italian)
  17. @BlueGreySky Go spend some time in Maremma... can personally suggest Talamone, the Argentario Peninsula (Porto Ercole, Porto Santo Stefano... also Orbetello is not too bad), go explore wineries in the countryside... you have lots of options. Cala Violina is supposed to be beautiful. Punta Ala, as well. Capalbio is supposed to be very cool. As you head into Lazio, you have Tarquinia, famous for its thermal baths, Cerveteri, famous for its Etruscan ruins, etc. Lots to see. No secret I go to Italy a lot... last train I took in Italy was in 2005. Drive. Your options will be endless.
  18. I go the code two days ago and then none of the pages let me even get to a place where I can enter a code to get in. Weird. I was going to buy tickets to COIN... was really looking forward to seeing them live. Welp - https://parade.com/news/coin-lead-singer-chase-lawrence-announces-band-breakup
  19. That water drops any further, we're going to be in trouble...
  20. This looks nice...
  21. Awesome - thank you!!!
  22. Made a big pot of ragù last night. I used to always make it without peas but many trips to Romagna have taught me to love it with peas. Had enough for last night's pasta and frozen four more portions.
