Speaking of the restaurant business - my new favorite thing I’ve learned about the virus, and I’m surprised it took us six months, is that it’s nocturnal. Just imagine how many lives we’re saving closing establishments at 10 and kicking patrons out at 11!

Guess next we’ll need to ground all flights and get folks off the roads by then as well, or does the virus just hang out in eateries?

Look at PTI clamoring for the next bailout of New Orleans. What’s this? The third in the last 15 years? Jesus man, how about you clowns diversify your economy a little.

By the way, nobody goes to New Orleans to eat vegan, Pakistani, Ethiopian, Antarctican or any of the other **** you mentioned save seafood, Cajun and creole. So save that “vital to our identity” crap that no one except a few yuppies in New Orleans care about. We tourists want some gumbo, oysters, po’boys and hurrricanes. Maybe a beniet and cup of coffee for breakfast too. So make sure you’ve got plenty of that when I’m down there post Covid.

Lastly, you missed the point completely. I’m not against “local” food. I’m saying there’s been a) a broad expansion of food to other geographies that used to be unique to a certain region and b) with this has come almost an over-supply of restaurants that offer the same stuff. You could probably cut down on the total amount of restaurants and really let the best thrive.

Being a person without an immune system to speak of and definitely in the “at risk group” I think wearing masks in businesses or groups is appreciated and helps. Shutting everything down when a 5 minute test is available now is ridiculous and fiscally too conservative. Especially when tracing can be implemented.
There’s no silver bullet or reset button so the fear mongering will continue but this country has to change the policies or life as we are accustomed to will change for the worse.

- The 97 Bama game was actually the first time I really paid attention to UK football. Was a sophomore in high school. Growing up, when I asked my parents about UK football, they’d just say, “don’t worry about it.” I get that, now.

- Bought a handle of Old Forester Bonded today for manhattans while we grilled out. I’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between it and regular Woodford in a blind tasting. I know Woodford sticks to their story that they redistill the distillate they truck in from Louisville several times in their pot stills. And maybe once that was true, but I’m sorry.

At this stage I’m pretty sure Woodford is just 90 proof standard Old Forester, with barrel selection and maybe a little bit more age being the only difference. Woodford is producing way too much volume for that stuff to be going through copper pot stills once, let alone several times. Not to mention the cost of trucking all that juice from the BF plant in Louisville to Woodford County, and then back to Louisville to be bottled/distributed.

- Surprised my wife with a new ******** that arrived in the mail today. I’m not a kinky guy or anything, but it seemed like a nice thing to do. This thing is apparently the Range Rover of personal recreational devices. $170, but I got 20% off as a first time customer.

- Was taking a deposition via zoom this week, and the old boy plaintiff just began packing a can of grizzly wintergreen right in the middle of it. Threw a gigantic pinch in while looking me right in the eye. I’m going to get summary judgment against him, but respect to him still.

- Just salted three pounds of ribeyes and put them on a rack in the fridge. Can’t wait until 6:00 tomorrow. 7 more hours of depositions between then and now. Good for revenue, but pisses me off that it f**ks up my regular Friday lunch plans at Montoya’s.

- I’d be the first to admit that many of my life skills are average, but I have two legitimate plus plus pitches - skipping stones, and eating hot ****. If anyone wants to take me on, please let me know. I’d love to take your money.

- Are you smoking oxycontin in my motorcoach?

Saw my neighbor growing up during the Trump speech tonight. Then saw some of her posts on FB. She had a good seat. I suppose that comes with being the head of the RNC for DC.

Just hit me - One neighbor growing up is worth mid 8 figures and the other is a successful developer and Republican hotshot. Looks like I drew the short straw.

I live in one of the greatest culinary cities in America. Within a short walk, I can get amazing Ethiopian, Mediterranean (from a Pakistani owned gas station), Cuban, Neopolitan pizza, po boys, Jewish deli, oysters, seafood, the inventor of bbq shrimp, an 80 year old steakhouse, Spanish, Israeli, about 8 different James Beard finalists, a vegan bakery, a vegan soul food joint, Cajun, classed up burgers, and so many more I can’t list them all. All locally owned, and a huge part of the culture of this area. And because the lass and I go out to eat a lot, we can walk in every single one and feel right at home, typically having a friendship with the owner/GM/bartender/etc.

Losing these local businesses that are vital to our economy and identity is absolutely devastating. Heart breaking.


In other words — go F yourself, Wayne.

Yeah, people go to New Orleans to visit their food court.

You better stick to raising mountain goats.

New Orleans still pimping its poor children out on every corner of Bourbon Street to entertain drunk tourists for tips?

Oh, right. That's just the "culture." Yea, F that place. IMO.

- Despite two hurricanes, a tornado, and flash flooding, Rosemary was perfect getaway for a few days. Great crew, lots of cold domestos, even got a few workouts in. Hard to beat a group trip in a big AirBNB house. Much better than resport or hotels.

- Biked from Rosemary to Seaside on a day when the beach was closed due to rip current. Just astounding the wealth out there in the world. Makes you feel a little unaccomplished in life. And I feel like I’m doing ok for myself...

- Back in the gym at 6AM this morning. Just can’t beat a morning sweat.

- All this stuff happening/hitting while we were on a trip was pretty surreal. Go the the beach in the morning, come back in afternoon and it felt like there were seismic events happening every damn day.

- We saved a pelican that was caught in fishing wire. Those are some large, mean birds. Well, my friends saved it while me and a couple others downed our beverages.

It's good to be a boomer. I wouldn't beat yourself up too much. They're considering retiring sometime in the next 20 years or so.

They’re just poor, bubba. I don’t think the city has much to do with it.

I love the Big Easy!

I won't go full millennial woke this morning but I COULD, damn it.

The city endorses that **** and I have no respect for PTI's hometown anymore. No way would it fly in any other American city, but it's part of what they sell to tourists and gets a pass. I had that epiphany on my last trip down there and decided I was done with that place.

It's fine. I'm not judging anyone else. Just a personal decision.

Had a much needed Weller 12 pour followed by a handful of High Life draughts with the old UK roomie at a local outdoor establishment last night. I think we’re all lacking that sort of evening right now. Everyone is on edge. Housed up all the time with an instant ****** news delivery system in their pocket. Was good to catch up, talk some UK sports and plan an SEC football pick’em league.

-Worship visiting NOLA. Some of the best food in the world. Doris Metropolitan 🙌

-Wynn bringing the thunder from left field.

-Man, I was totally on the fence but after watching every second of both conventions I've got this all figured out.

-So now the other side is skeptical of the CDC. Lol. K.

-How about Jordan Wright scooping and scoring on the final play to crush the souls of the VaTech faithful. That was an amazing sequence. A little Marty Moore terror there but these dudes are different.

-We also don't talk about(write this name down) Boogie MF Watson. Dude is going to be a STUD.

-G scored in his first scrimmage, 1 of 2 goals by either side. Ok, I can see how this gets addicting. It's just a pack of 5 year olds in a heard like buffalo. What a hoot.

-Want a nice tricep mix up? Skullcrushers with kettle bells. Love those f*ckers and they're hard af. The only sensible use for those pieces of ****.

-Who wants to spend the rest of the day reviewing employee handbook changes? Not this guy.

- Welp, we had a nice little 2lb 8oz (30wk) baby on Monday.

- I engaged in a lot of magical thinking as regards listening to Sinatra on the way to/from the hospital. Really put the future ability to listen to Ol’ Blue Eyes on the line, but hopefully we’re passed that danger zone.

- He’s doing great so far (*Jordan Shrug*) and it’s all pretty amazing

- I’m posting this as a discrete take so I can start getting blasted for my forthcoming takes, as per usual.

- As always, thanks for the welcome distraction, GYERO!
