And I’m one of the lucky ones.
My house is still standing, the windows are in tact, and our post-Katrina new roof held up just fine.
No one in southern Louisiana should ever clean out their fridge or freezer at any other time during the year. August/September down here forces you to do it anyway. And I was a really big fan of that new, almost-full Paul Newman salad dressing. Damn.
What did I have for breakfast Sunday morning?
A shrimp and spinach alfredo omelet with French fries. Why? Because that’s what was in the freezer and if you don’t eat it now, I promise you don’t want to come back to it in several days after the power comes back. I had half a mind to sprinkle some Jambalaya that I had in the freezer over those eggs. Better judgment prevailed.
By the way, I’m from New Orleans originally. If anyone needed to be spared Gustav’s wrath it was the Big Easy. I’m thankful this storm didn’t wreak havoc like Katrina did.
But just because New Orleans is still standing doesn’t mean a huge portion of Louisiana, capital city included, is hunky dory.
But enough about life, let’s focus on sports…
“It’s Saturday morning…IN DEATH VALLEY!!!”
LSU fans saw more or less what they expected from the Tigers’ first test of the season.
A stout running game with question marks at quarterback. They also showcased shaky special teams and a defense that has some early season kinks but looks to be dominant once again.
Most fans with no rooting interest I’m sure would’ve loved to see another game like Michigan/App. St. last year. Les Miles isn’t sorry to disappoint. With the impending threat of the hurricane, Les had his boys set for business as usual.
