I'm a transplant, so I only ate at five of these

Right now it's freezing in Red Stick and 71F in the Crescent City

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

I do this something like this, less often, when the humidity is not too high outside. Windows, of course, are almost all painted shut, but I open front, rear, and side doors of our sidehall shotgun to "air out" as we say wapo.st/4bGX32O

Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley, whose agency has worked with Border Patrol, said he was told last week that the operation was suspended while federal agents were deployed elsewhere www.nola.com/news/jeffers...

Sorry, reposting this one -- there's just so much going on with recursion on several planes of reflection and shadow, interior and exterior; mundane NO street scene

Mrs TK was playing "brass band covers of pop tunes" on Spotify, and I was calling "New Orleans band or NOT New Orleans Band." I was like batting 1000, 10 for 10 -- just listen to the drums and feel the horns -- very easy
