29% of respondents answered: “Yes, it is a serious problem.”

71% of respondents answered: “No es una problema seriosa.”

I nearly pissed myself…

Sunday we went to the Zephyrs game with the dogs. It was dog day at the park. We managed to get in the newspaper for it. It was very hot out so we did not stay the whole game but a great outing. UDM and Rebecca were there with their dog Langiappe as well.

We took the dogs down to French Quater Fest on Saturday.  It was a good time.  The highlight of the day was Zoey taking a leak in the middle of Pirate’s Alley.  Who hasn’t done that a time or two?

The Rambo Granny of Melbourne, Australia Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down - - and shot off their testicles. The old lady spent a week hunting those men down — and when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way, said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp. Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant’s desk and told him as calm as could be: ‘Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God.’ Cops say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and his testicles when outraged Ava opened fire with a 9-mm pistol in the hotel room where he and former prison cell mate Stanley Thomas, 29, were holed up. The wrinkled avenger also blew Thomas’ testicles to kingdom come, but doctors managed to save his mangled penis, police said. The one guy, Thomas, didn’t lose his manhood, but the doctor I talked to said he won’t be using it the way he used to, Detective Delp told reporters. Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they’re just happy to be alive after what they’ve been through. The Rambo Granny swung into action August 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was carjacked and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding creeps in a section of town bordering on skid row. “When I saw the look on my Debbie’s face that night in the hospital, I decided I was going to go out and get those bastards myself ’cause I figured the Law would go easy on them,” recalled the retired library worker. “And I wasn’t scared of them, either– because I’ve got me a gun and I’ve been shooting’ all my life. And I wasn’t dumb enough to turn it in when the law changed about owning one.” So, using a police artist’s sketch of the suspects and Debbie’s description of the sickos’, tough-as-nails Ava spent seven days prowling the wino-infested neighborhood where the crime took place till she spotted the ill fated rapists entering their flophouse hotel. I knew it was them the minute I saw ‘em, but I shot a picture of ‘em anyway and took it back to Debbie and she said sure as hell, it was them, the oldster recalled. So I went back to that hotel and found their room and knocked on the door and the minute the big one, , opened the door, I shot ‘em right square between the legs, right where it would really hurt ‘em most, you know. Then I went in and shot the other one as he backed up pleading to me to spare him. Then I went down to the police station and turned myself in. Now, baffled lawmen are trying to figure out exactly how to deal with the vigilante granny. What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it is difficult to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison, Det. Delp said, especially when 3 million people in the city want to nominate her for Mayor. DEPORT HER TO AMERICA— WE NEED HER !!

We got a new puppy yesterday.  Shes a black lab named Zoey.

Pictures from the Krewe of Barkus 2006 are here.  We had a blast.  Caesar had a great time meeting all the other dogs and people.  Towards the end of the parade he just wanted to sit in front of people and let them pet him, he was tired of walking.  I don’t think he has slept as good as he did last night in his whole life.

Saturday was the Krew of Tucks Corination Brawl. Camille and I went in costume and had a great time. For those of you who don’t know, we are riding in the Krew of Tucks on the “Funky Tucks”. Word has it that we are the last float in tucks and Endymion is right behind us. We are the 4th and 5th people on the neutral ground side.

I think I had the worst day of my life Saturday. After not having to work, as expected, I got Boogie and Homeskillet to go fishing with me. We were going to leave late, 9AM, for some afternoon fishing in Venice, LA. So we are driving down Bellechase Highway and there is this guy pulling a busted ass trailer with old roofing materials falling off it right in front of me in the right lane, I was in the left one. He had it “covered” with a busted ass tarp, but the sides of the trailer were severely lacking and the stuff was falling out of the side onto the road. By the time I saw him it was too late and had no choice but to pass him and hope for the best. Everything seemed fine.

Fast forward about 20 minutes. We are heading down the highway and I am checking the tires in the mirror every few minutes and everything seemed fine. Ten seconds after checking the tires the right one blows out. I immediately stop and pull over. Ok, I have never really needed a spare for the trailer, nor has anyone I have known so I didn’t get one. So I unhook the boat and leave Boogie and Homeskillet with it. I head back to Harvey to try and find a spare. After searching a few stores I found one on a new rim, since I could use a spare one anyway. After an hour of driving around. All is well. I get back to the boat, get the jack out, jack it up, and WHAM! The lug nuts(and therefore the wrench) for the truck are a different size than the ones on the trailer. While contemplating what to do to fix this, I happened to walk to the other side of the boat and notice that the other tire is almost flat. Luckily I have a compressor. We refilled the tire and it held for a while so I was ok with it, but that pretty much put an end to the possibility of actually making it to Venice. So back to Bellechase for a new lug wrench.

On the way back to get the wrench, still can’t believe the day I am having, I decide to roll up my passenger window, and I hear a snap. One of the fishing rods had shimmied out of the window while I wasn’t looking and the tip snapped right off.

The story isn’t quite over yet. Well we get the tire changed and pressured up the other one the best we could and headed back towards home. We got about to Bellechase when the other tire was getting low again, so we stopped to refill it. We found an autoparts store and got a plug kit and plugged the tire. That worked. We did make it home safe even after all that. The moral of the story is to NEVER try to go fishing on Saturday the 14th, EVER.

I now, thanks to some jackass, have two new high quality tires on my trailer and also a spare tire. I got roadside assistance coverage with my new tires so if this ever happens again, while I am alone I won’t get stuck up the creek without a paddle.

Mardi Gras Offically begins this Friday January 6th.

We got a new TV.

52″ Toshiba LCD Projection with DLP.

Its freakin sweet except for the fact that the one I got has a crack in it, and needs to be replaced. I have to wait for the replacement. Until then, the one I have still works.

Well we made it back from California. Uneventful trip. I hate traveling this time of year.

It was good to see Hopper the other day. He is in town if anyone didn’t know that. We went with him and Pickle to see “King Kong” the other night. Good movie, but long. There is nothing quite like a giant gorilla fighting three T-Rex’s while holding a blonde girl.

Party friday night with the Kings Point Alumni at Lucy’s. We have the upstairs part of the bar and the LSU game will be on the big screen up there. If anyone’s interested get with me.

2. New Belt - Black - 1.5″ wide - 42″ Length
