the Ruby Slipper a really awesome restaurant here.

They serve something called bread pudding pancakes. Have never tried that.

I am planning on those instead of waffles.

Louisiana will put a major dent in Sanders delegate net for the weekend. I think he comes out of the weekend +16 to +18.

He'll win Kansas and Nebraska, and then Maine big (maybe a 26-4 delegate split in Maine). Still, Louisiana will chip away at that (Clinton may be +20 in Louisiana).

Then Mississippi on Tuesday will zero out the weekend's gains. Or, the weekend's gains will zero out Mississippi, I suppose.

discriminatory and conservative. This is from 2014:
" Only 31 percent of Louisianans support the freedom to marry, the lowest rate in the country. It also ranks near the bottom in terms of household income and wage equality. This particularly matters for LGBT workers, as Louisiana is one of the 29 states where you can still be fired on the basis of sexual orientation. If you're transgender, that figure goes up to 34 states.

Like Texas, Louisiana continues to enforce its unconstitutional sodomy ban, voting in April (by a wide 66-to-27 majority) to keep its anti-gay legislation. Even worse, they're still enforcing it. Last year, the Advocate magazine reported that East Baton Rouge sheriff Sid J. Gautreaux has been orchestrating a "series of stings, in which an undercover policeman woos an unsuspecting gay man back to his apartment for sex and then makes an arrest." Gautreaux has arrested a dozen men since the operation began in 2011."

So that's why I'm not on the Gulf right now, where it's warm all the time.....and why their political views are not the guiding lights of my life....if their politics were the national politics, I'd be living in France.
