And now, a word from our sponsors:

Down – Bury Me in Smoke (Live)

The hidden subtext?

Obviously:

I’m heading down to New Orleans, spend some time with old friends and new, and a number of books. Much thanks to everyone who links to, and takes the time to read and comment on this blog…it’s all very appreciated, and I hope your weekend brings you at least a little of what you hope for…

If you haven’t, take a look at the list on the right side of the page and do some exploration of the many valuable websites. Have a safe few days everybody – and for those trying to get through the morass that is the GCCF, keep the pressure on…hopefully for some of you the check’s in the mail.

Take a look at New Orleans Ladder for all your local news…

Be back on Wednesday.

Have a nice day(s).
