Good pickups!

Since only four attachments are allowed, here's how it stands now. I'm not sure if the salt shaker is supposed to go in the soft case or not. We shall see!

Day nine appears to be a salt shaker!

We will be staying in Tremé and not far from Bourbon Street. I feel like that’s not negotiable- you didn’t really go to New Orleans if you don’t go down Bourbon Street, just like you’ve never been to Las Vegas if you didn’t do the Strip!
I'm not overly food adventurous, so I’ll probably stick to a variety of bacon cheeseburgers, but Megan is looking forward to eating all kinds of things!
As for the churches and architecture, I love both of those things. While neither of us are overly religious we do love looking at churches and things- when we were in Greece a couple of years ago we drove for hours to spend a couple of days in Meteora where they have monasteries built on top of these amazing rock plinths.
And we saw some cool ones in San Francisco last year.
Louisiana and Halifax have a really cool history together. A few hundred years ago the east coast of what would eventually become Canada was settled by the English and the French. Eventually the English got the upper hand, and demanded that the French settlers renounce any ties to France, which they did and started to refer to themselves as Acadians.
Then, years later the English decided that wasn’t good enough, so they forcibly expelled the French from the area. Since they had renounced France, they couldn’t go back (also, many generations removed by this point) so they went South and ended up in Louisiana.
Over the years the term Acadian got slurred/shortened into the term Cajun.
After the English lifted the Anti French ban, many came back to rejoin their family members who were able to escape being expelled, but even more stayed put because they were settled and Louisiana doesn’t have winter!
While the French heritage I have isn’t from Nova Scotia, I do feel bit of a kinship with our Acadians (despite not understanding a word they say!) because I have lived well over half my life in this province with them.
That’s a huge appeal for me to go to New Orleans, if nothing else.

Hello, is the Blast still for sale? PM me if so. Thanks!

After almost 30 years on the internet, someone has finally managed to offend me.
On a comic book group I don’t belong to, someone posted that they bought Satriani’s Surfing With The Alien album for the cover art and they have no interest in listening to it.
Seriously?
Joe Satriani is a musical genius and every song on this album proves it. It’s worth it just for Always With Me, Always With You, and the title track will blow anyone away.
If you aren’t familiar with this album or this artist, do yourself a favour and listen to them on whatever musical service you prefer.
You can thank me later.

I got a simulated 'woobie' jacket last year with a hood. Great cold weather garb. It needed an inside pocket and the thing takes forever and a day to dry. Aside from that I like it. Put a Kick that I got as a Christmas giveaway last year from friend cnlson in the pocket. That is today's carry. Best wishes. G

Ohhh, this should be fun!

 And the Ruby Slipper. Both are outstanding eating establishments. Try the spicy, pickled green beans when you get the opportunity. For the record, I don't really care for green beans but the spicy pickled ones were outstanding. Do one of the tours. The wife and I did the haunted tour which included at stop at one of the oldest bars in New Orleans. We had some purple drink that's supposed to be famous but I felt it was a bit to sweet for me. Check out the St Louis Cathedral. Regardless of your religious views, anyone can appreciate the architecture and history contained within that edifice. Don't forget to walk down Bourbon street.
