People on the airplane other than me - NONE - I had the whole damn plane to myself
Number of other live human beings at the airport - 1, and he locked the doors after I left
Number of people in the bar when I walked in - 2..the barmaid and her friend
Age of the hotel I'm staying in - 94yrs
Number of mullets spotted - too many to count

Vehicle Makes:
Ford - 40%
Chevrolet - 50%
Other - 10%

Vehicle Types:
Pickup Truck - 85%
SUV - 10%
Car - 5%

S2000's seen - NONE

Temperature - Hot and humid as hell

Billboard Advertisements:
Religious (to include anti-abortion) - 50%
Public Announcements - (keep LA clean etc) - 30%
Hospitals - 10%

Buildings Seen:
Churches - 50%

reminds me of my friend Justin, he went on business to Memphis for a week. of course, there are more cars, more buildings and probably an S2000 there as well. so... he was sick half way through his week and called the minor emergency clinic. they asked if he had insurance before he came in. he said yes, I have Humana. she asked him to hold. after about 2 minutes time, she comes back on the phone and says, "oh.. I'm sorry we dont take Baptist insurance."

Be happy you are not there in August if you think it is hot and humid now. On the up side deposit some money in the state coffers and go gambling. You are close to most of the hot spots in LA.

What the hell is nutria? hehe...maybe I don't want to know.

On a positive note, last night I had a bowl of gumbo and some BBQ shrimp for dinner - quite yummy. I still have to try gator sometime...wonder what that tastes like...chicken maybe?

This morning I sat at a red light and counted the number of domestics vs imports coming by me and once again confirmed my statistics.

I have to stay here over the weekend and till next Wednesday...oh how fun

umm...do you mean temperature hot, or hot hot? Coz I don't see too many hot spots around here...unless you mean the bar Gators - they at least had biker night last night

Nutria is a big river rat (rodent) and looks like a beaver with a skinny tail. You see them in the canals all the time. The SWAT team used to pracctice sniping on them.

Damn yous for getting to eat gumbo. I have yet to find a place up here that can make good gumbo.

I was referring to Shreveport or Bossier City for the gambling. Alexandria is too scary.
