Holy cow they are still messing around with this one. I won't believe it's happening until I see it. 7 years and nothing but some grass.

Different already? I can't help but drive by our old house when I come in town, and other than them not trimming bushes at all, it's the same. I know they have made progress on I-10 ramps and such, haven't checked to see if the evil wal-mart went in. I might have time to explore next time I come. Or I can just scan the forums right now... I haven't made beer since I did for that haify hour at niche's place. Need to do that. Gotta stop having kids though, they take up lots of time and such.

Well, I miss you guys. It's been great being back home in Baton Rouge but I definitely miss Houston and haif. I hope all is well. I'm in town at least 5 times a year, I'll try to keep up with all the good stuff going on there.

They have adapters that let you run network signals through power outlets. Do that.

Reverse jinx. Suckas! Ravens are beatable.

Sort of fitting that the historically loser Bengals will probably knock the historically loser Texans out of the playoffs.

That is awesome. Amazing that power lines didn't cause more issues. I spent my high school years doing CAP in LA. They didn't let me fly anything, but I got to go on some cool ride-alongs.

I should go downtown more! I knew about one on Montrose and White Oak, not that one. At least it proves I am already right.

They need to put a BB's there. Good food and fun.

It's a poll. New votes bump it.

Sold it. Webster what now?

In general they think like conservative talk radio. Guns and freedom and what not. But I guess I was also alluding to the sports scene, where it is 100% LSU and Saints all the way. It's been fun here being one of the few pulling for them, but when I'm there it feels like it's totally overdone, all the time. I like walking amongst the aggies and horns, at least in recent years when we've had more success.

Moving back to LA. Mixed feelings on that. We'll miss a lot of things about this place, but we're also looking forward to being home around family. Grocery prices and availability here are awesome. As much as we talk about it, the traffic here is heaven compared to Baton Rouge, what with the planned freeways and such. I enjoyed being a minority for a while, I know I will find it annoying to be among so many other Louisianians who all think basically the same way.

Are those wishes or predictions? I'm kinda pulling for a few of them, even though I shouldn't be. Ah whatever, there's nothing wrong with hoping for the death of reality tv. Except Moonshiners, that's good stuff.

1. Lowest presidential voter turnout ever due to crappy candidates on both sides. Obama wins because the republicans fail to get organized and united, again. No one cares. Lowest ever ratings on new coverage surrounding the election. 2. Another super-major energy company splits up, a-la ConocoPhillips this year. Prime candidates: Chevron, BP, Exxon. 3. At least one death as a result of terrorist activity at the summer Olympics in London 4. North Korea becomes more and more irrelevant. Iran invades a weakened Iraq, but it ends up not changing anything. 5. The Washington Nationals make the MLB playoffs. WTF?!! The Astros are as bad as last year.
