Beautiful day out here.
Also, your ancestors intermarried with the Spanish who were in Louisiana (among others).
I know I'm not the only person around here who knows a bunch of Cajuns with Spanish last names.

Not sure I'm up for seeking out a Dong Phuong today, as that would involve standing in line outside. Grumble, gumble. 🥶

It is beyond me how Cajuns can support what ICE is doing.
This is an important watch. If you’re from Louisiana you should already know this and why you should be mad as hell about what’s happening.

Bummed not to be out at KDV, but between the arthritis flare and this weather, it's too much. Stay warm out there, y'all!

Seemed to me like it got more applause than usual this year.
The glitter guillotine is on the streets and I will no longer be responsible for anything until Ash Wednesday.

Guy two doors down just started yelling in the middle of the street about our parking job. We should not have parked as we did, but dude is unhinged.
Won't be saying hi to him anymore.

My friend who lives in China texted us out of the blue yesterday and ended up spending the night. Her travel buddy was stuck in Dallas but flying in today so she's off to meet up with him.
Bonus: he's riding in some BR parades, so she took 2 bags of throws off our hands.

There's something to be said for honesty.
I also appreciate that Dick's had the handwarmers right by the door. They know what we need. 😅

If “sharing information about suspicious cars that drove by on the Internet” is illegal, than Kash Patel better be cracking down hard on Nextdoor before he bothers with Signal.
Important: Kash Patel’s egregiously anti-first-amendment statements here and Cam Higby’s claim to have “infiltrated” huge ICE-monitoring chats do NOT mean Signal is somehow “compromised.”
“An asshole manages to get added to some massive + intentionally minimally-screened chats” is not surprising.

FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal groups tracking ICE, Patel says
FBI Director Kash Patel made the statement after right-wing media figures said they joined the chats and claimed participants were obstructing law enforcement.
