Chicken and dumplin' Sunday
a.k.a. redneck coq au vin! Downright tasty stuff but it's doubtful I'll ever be able to make dumplings the way a Cajun neighbor-ladyfriend of my granny's could. Light, fluffy, ever-so-tasty and they didn't disintegrate into a mass of goo within an hour. Mine have to be eaten fresh from the pot. I still make extras for the critters. They ain't picky about texture!
Rather than hitting the sack which was sooo tempting, decided to continue fiddling with the 3-D version of the gadget. The original proto design would require a lot of extra parts expanded to 3-D as it stood. Re-engineered with minimum range extended to 2 feet rather than 1/2 inch cut the transducer count from 6 to 3 with the same spatial accuracy and multiplexing the scanning inverse cube law video processor, the range limit would only be limited by the multiplexing noise. ...or would it? Hmmmm, time to let that steep for a bit and go sleep off a happy gutful! Decided to be brave and turn on the teevee and see what the late nooze had goin'. The antenna and tuner were set for Orlando NBC. Sweet mother of god, was that NBC or MoveOn? Is there a difference? I watched that blithering asswipe for most of 10 minutes while my dumplings were turning into sour curds and the nice smile enjoyed all day turned into something found on the faces of rabid dogs. Turned the damn thing off. Walked the thinkin' circle for a bit, then went out and scratched a couple of fuzzy heads for a while. It's starting to get decent again, low humidity and a heck of a lot cooler at night. Dropped below 70 for the first time night before (been hanging 80+ !). Came back in and thought to see if some good news could be found on the web until the sleepies set back in and stumbled on Gunmen attack contractors on La. bridge
That warmed the cockleberries of my heart. Only downside is they didn't nail them all. Sounds like some folk need a bit more time at the firing range.
This is a clean summation of the situation:
Who’s Responsible For New Orleans?
Steve H., well spoken!
CYA is a Big Job in a Town With as Many Asses as New Orleans
It seems that the folk over at the Louisiana Political News Service aren't exactly pleased with Governor Blanco. The first link is their home page, lots more there.
And lastly, I was greatly amused with GUYK's Mayor Nagin Fears CIA post yesterday. Mayor Shitferbrains has a LOT more to worry about than a CIA plot! The dude's got maggots in his brains if he isn't aware there's a lot of cajuns in his area. I spent most of my life before the age of 18 kinda between Mobile and Biloxi, did a bunch of fishing and hunting with those folk. There's a little note Mayor SFB ought to think about; 1) cajuns tend to be more patriotic than average, 2) they tend to have rather large families and 3) they love those families a whole lot! Then there's the deployed military that might have lost folk, even the rather large numbers of regular people in the "Sportsman' Paradise... Lordy I'd hate to be him! I truly hope no disgruntled citizen turns him into Saint Dickhead, far better he gets indited, tried, convicted, and sent to Angola prison. Second-best and very satisfactory (actually automatic since he's already justifiably paranoid) is to leave him be. A car back-fires; a lump in his tidy-whities. A door slams. Silent movement seen from the corner of an eye. Lump. Lump. Lots of lumps until the innards can no longer make anything but squirts. A long, long life trying to see in all directions at once. Hell on earth.
I propose a new charity. Depends for ex-mayor Nagin Diaper service? Hanes Crate-of-the-Week?

Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS - Police shot and killed at least five people Sunday after gunmen opened fire on a group of contractors traveling across a bridge on their way to make repairs, authorities said.
Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said police shot at eight people carrying guns, killing five or six.
Fourteen contractors were traveling across the Danziger Bridge under police escort when they came under fire, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers.
They were on their way to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain to help plug the breech in the 17th Street Canal, Hall said.
None of the contractors was injured, Mike Rogers, a disaster relief coordinator with the Army Corps of Engineers, told reporters in Baton Rouge.
The bridge spans a canal connecting Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River.
No other details were immediately available.

Damn, I have not had good chickn & dumplins in over 20 years. Iam not exaggerating either. I don't entirely blame bush for those buses. I'm pointing the finger at the gov & mayor of 'Nawlins. It was THEIR responsibilitie for the people.
It is about damn time some order is starting to be restored there! I've said from the beginning that the answer is to shoot first and ask questions later.
