Re: “Send a time capsule into space”
Yes, the star-naming business was a stroke of entrepreneurial genius). Thanks for the info on the shuttle and other rocket news. Hope Michoud gets a piece of some of the pie/s. We really need it.
Re: “Give or get the message”
Ah, yes. Makes me long for the days when we would go out to dinner or get away from the house to get AWAY from the phone.
Re: “Happy birthday, Eudora”
I was told there was a scheduling conflict.
Re: “Bottoms Up! The Bar Guide”
You are quite mistaken. Bud Rip's and Markey's do appear in the guide, though Henry's was overlooked. I wish all these bars were Gambit advertisers, but you are incorrect about that, too. As for your characterization of the people who compiled the guide, well, their ages, backgrounds and social points of view are varied, and your insult is unwarranted. Perhaps a stiff drink at Henry's is in order.
Re: “Bike Sense”
I agree auto drivers should be more aware of the rules of the road for bikers and more accommodating to those traveling on two wheels, but bikers also need to make sure they are safe and can be seen so they don't get run over. As for my mindset, you've really made my point. We shouldn't need legislation telling people to turn on their headlights at night just like people should know — without being warned by a manufacturer — that the plastic bag used to wrap an item should not be given to a toddler as a plaything. As for the cost: It does take a few bucks to buy a light, but it's a safety issue for both the bike rider and other people using the roads.
Re: “Are there a lot of hawks in Uptown New Orleans these days?”
You are correct that the Barthe Family does not own the Luling mansion, they were just doing the plastering work required in restoring the building. The error, however, was not Blake's but was added during the editing process by a wrongheaded editor, namely me. Old Blake let us know about the egregious error, and the offending paragraph has been deleted.
Re: “The Levee offers levity amid T-P disaster”
Amen to that.
