Home ownership is weird because what do you mean i just bought a wood planer?

Happy 34th birthday to my Whirlpool fridge that still holds perfect temperature despite spending the last 10 summers in a hot New Orleans garage. Keep working, big guy. I appreciate you.

Why do some children scream as if they are being brutally murdered while they're playing? 🫠

By big book cover for my book events came in! Thanks to @suestrachan504.bsky.social for the Vista Print rec!

If they really bring myspace back, I want it to be exactly the same as it was before. No algorithm. No frills. Just 2006-style.

Can these mild temps please stay??

I want to know why no Westbank restaurants participate in Coolinary (I don't count Saint Claire only because it's in Orleans Parish). Are Westbank restaurants not invited to participate, or do they just not think it's worth it?

Pope Leo said he is planning on traveling to the United States within the next few years, and I will be going to whatever city he plans to visit. Just so we're clear. 🙏

I made a flyer for my book launch event in Canva to avoid using AI. Please come. This writing thing has to work out, because I do not have a future in graphic design.

I found a signature stamp that belonged to my great grandfather. He died in 1950! This is a really cool thing to have.

I wish I was kidding. I ordered bedsheets from Walmart and the delivery person had the audacity to leave this at my door because the bed sheets were out of stock. Sheets. SHEETS.

A) It was the first week of MAY that I renewed. B) I never got it in the mail and I had to go to the OMV today for a replacement and pay $20 for the privilege. Apparently if I had gone within 60 days, it would have been free. Hey, it's my fault for expecting something to work around here.

How long does it usually take to get a Louisiana vehicle registration sticker in the mail? I renewed mine online the first week of June and I still haven't gotten it.

I was just wondering what people did when there was a boil water advisory before smartphones. How did they find out about it? Were they less common thirty or so years ago or did people just hear about them on the news? Or was it more of a word of mouth thing?

What a difference a little cloud cover can make.

William Shatner is 95 and tomorrow he launches his podcast. It's official: everyone alive has a podcast now.

Subscribed to New Orleans Magazine and just received my first copy. And my forthcoming book, Coffee Culture New Orleans, got a little shout out!

I want to shop local over the big chain stores, but baby, that means you have to be open on Sunday.

Y'all watching Cape Fear??

Just watched Backrooms and... what was that? I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

When you're drying your carpet after an ac leak and you bring out the big guns.

They fixed it again. We'll see.

Allow me to rant. I have an air conditioning vent that is leaking, and I called a company, and I thought the problem was solved and now it's leaking again. I'm frustrated.
