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)  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…

Buried busy with wedding prep and my new business. Should get the post-Bloomington-post up this weekend with some luck. In the meantime I would view it as a personal favor if you followed the Mermaid’s suggestion below. Children’s Hospital is a cause near and dear to my heart, without them I would be in a wheelchair rather than lurching around on my own two feet. Take the few seconds and vote. It will mean a lot, to me and to the kids there now.
