• File this one under good grief: I can block every single one of those stupid viagra ad emails and they keep coming like a flood after a New Orleans levee break but, my bank account statements go straight to the spam bin after allowing it as an exception.






• People think it's a shame that New Orleans isn't completely rebuilt and blame it on everything from prejudice to simple incompetence. It was ridiculous to allow that city to grow to anything larger than a support system for the port in the first place.






• It sinks at the rate of 3 inches per year.






• Politicians, writers and engineers were calling for its abandonment in the late 1800s.






• My memories of New Orleans: discarded crack pipes and vials 3 inches deep on street corners, constant gunfire, unemployed people staggering around everywhere, dirty, stinky, decay.






• It will wash or blow away again no matter what man does.





• If a person has a strong work ethic I think it will cover a lot of sins and help them do better in life regardless of their perceived personal limitations.





• Until my late 30s I only missed 4 days of work.






• I've never worked in food service at any point in my life except as a dishwasher when I was 12 years old. I would get to work about 6:00 in the evening and work until midnight and walk about 2 miles home. Can you imagine if someone allowed their kid to do that today?

• I knew a girl who worked at the same McDonalds for 16 years.

• Just finished the movie Wrong Turn: in the end a deputy is looking through the burned remains of the hillbillies house where the last remaining boy and girl of the group who made the wrong turn killed the mutants. As the deputy finds the body of his fellow officer who had tried to help the group and he begins to piece things together he turns to see a silhouetted figure whose mutated face is suddenly lit clearly, then he swings the axe down, we fade to black with a maniacal laugh in the background, a brief silent pause then burst into a heavy metal rock song and the credits roll.
