Picking up scads of Elmer’s Easter eggs on Senior Discount Day at Canseco’s to avoid expected chocolate price hikes. Now the challenge is not eating them before Easter morning.

It is a shame that profits in local festivals and restaurants depend so much on alcohol sales and promoting alcohol and getting sponsorships from Big Liquor. I’m not a teetotaler but some day this will be viewed as comparable in harm to getting cigarette sponsors.

This beloved MS Coast restaurant opened in 1980. Now only a few days remain until it closes. For more than 40 years, this restaurant on the Coast has been drawing crowds with its fried chicken, fish and Southern sides.

I sure hope in your head you were pronouncing β€œcharacters” as β€œchar-ACK-ters” like Dr. John when you wrote that.

Hydrogeologists document that humanity pumps groundwater between 10 and 80 times faster than nature can replenish it, and that some of this volume took more than 100 years to accumulate underground. The planet's aquifers are silently collapsing: NASA satellites detect accelerated depletion of groundwater in major global reserves.

So the president wants us to believe that Iran somehow acquired a Tomahawk, an advanced, nuclear-capable missile, either from the US or one of our 3 closest allies, and then used it to blow up one of their own schools. His stupidity is the only thing that keeps his evil from overwhelming everything.

These two boxwood diseases prevalent in Louisiana must be handled differently. Here's how. Sadly, in recent years, many boxwoods have fallen victim to disease problems.

Louisiana has to legalize cannabis and tax it to get us out of this billion dollar deficit that’s coming

What are we waiting for at this point?

Let’s have an open and free marketplace and just be done with it.

We are avoiding the inevitable.

Kind of weird that we want folks to come here, let down their hair, party til they can't...
Yet watch their every move.
For their safety.
(And yes, I know why they really want to watch everything...I know our demographics)

Wonder what that same $ would do if it were UBI...
(I know that answer, too)
