I bet you wouldn't be too jealous around the first of August. The weather
isn't exactly pleasant in the middle of the summer, but the rest of the year
ain't bad.

One of the things like about New Orleans is that it is difficult to find a
bad meal when dining out. Not every place is great but most are at least
good. I live around the corner from a place called Liuzza's by the Track
that most would put into the dive category and it has wonderful food. I've
never had a better bowl of gumbo than what they server at LBTT and believe
it or not they make a pretty good Rueben.

I guess thread is getting a bit back on topic.
