Saints on High
The score is 14/16 with the Saints just having scored a touchdown. The really interesting part is the vacant streets outside.
I just got back from walking to the store for cigarettes. It reminded me so much of those first weeks back after our exile. In the course of walking six blocks on a fairly major street (Prytania)Â I saw only one car. When I entered the store there was only one other customer and the staff were howling as the Bears scored on the TV set up on ther counter.. Everywhere the exterior face of the city is deserted. I’m willing to bet that no crime will occur during this window either.
With the exception of that period when there were so few of us in the aftermath of the Katrina/Levee Failure/Rita apocalypse this is the emptiest I have ever seen the city streets…

I noticed the same quiet on the streets you did. It did bring back memories of my return home. It was quiet out there.
We didn’t last night, but Michael and I were text messaging throughout the Eagles game. When it ended, he was sitting on his front stoop smokin’ a cig and said he could hear random folks shouting in the night as if they had emerged from their front doors just to cheer into the city. I was wondering last night if he heard random wails of pain. *sigh*
There are folks calling out for you to dress up, so to speak, for the SB, anyway, and that naughty Lisa has pics of you all dolled up ala cheerleader. They’re on the net baby and lookin’ mighty fine. Somethin’ to see… I’m just sayin’…
