Of course Amazon sells urns. I'm sorry for your loss.

I agree with all that.

I'm not sympathetic to the CT owner. I just think it's dumb.

There are better forms of civil disobedience. This isn't pushing back on Musk, Trump, DOGE, MAGA, etc. It's just fucking with a random dude.

Yeah the parades hauling ass down the avenue just to say they did in fact roll is lame. Either do it right or don't.

I feel that way about everything. Coffee-flavored coffee, bourbon-flavored bourbon, etc.

Is this Jack Handey? Feels like something he'd write.

Oh yes. Giant ball pit of germs. Some kind of rodent tube tunnel thing. Many memories.

Maybe Beyonce or somebody will buy a $10K antique mirror on Royal, but I think a bit portion of the visitors are just well-heeled football people. Saw lots of families like that. I think we just have to think of this kind of thing as a busier-than-usual festival weekend and be satisfied with that.

I've heard reports about some business being slow down there, which I believe, but the restaurants and bars were buzzing mid-afternoon. I think we've got to readjust our expectations for this kind of thing.

Choppers buzzing around a bit but I didn't find the security presence too in your face or manifestly dumb (except when we crossed Bourbon St, which was fortified but also crowded).

He asked where Bourbon was, which I advised against, and steered him to the Chart Room, where we were going. He didn't seem interested in that but I told him I guess you gotta do it when you're in NOLA. At the Chart Room, found an enclave of locals plus a few well-informed tourists.

Plenty of people walking around after that. Mostly obvious tourists but saw a few Who Dats out there (including Cam Jordan inexplicably but inevitably buzzing down the street on a Segway). Saw a few pitiable Lions fans as well, one of whom I offered condolences to.

Good selection this morning.

I remember going to the concert in Woldenberg Park. Felt like it was all locals. Don't know why any local would want to dine out or go to the Quarter this weekend.

I remember this story. Is there an update from when it was first reported years ago?
