In February 2024, Landry signed an executive order eliminating hiring goals in exchange for tax breaks. "'This program is about capital investment. It is not about job creation,' Landry said." They don't even have to promise more jobs now. lailluminator.com/2024/02/22/l...

Landry removes job requirements, trumps local authority for industrial tax breaks • Louisiana Illuminator
Companies that receive major breaks on local property taxes will no longer have to set hiring goals to get the incentive.

Among the things I already admired about Dolly Parton, I now love her letters that have been posted. They're so smart, sweet and sincere.

I just bought an Ozark Trail Lantern, 500 Lumens, LED Mini Camping Lantern, Carabineer Handle for $5 at Walmart. I prefer little lanterns to flashlights for getting around in the dark when the power is out.

All of the millages in St. Bernard Parish passed at a rate of about 70%. Complainers on Facebook who attack the library aren't the majority of voters. The turnout was about 12.8%. I resent the newest state representative map.

Bizarrely I had never noticed this before, but it’s much more noticeable in the 4K restoration. Behind the real estate agent in his office, labeled “Vicinity of Salem’s Lot, Maine,” is clearly a (somewhat inaccurate) map of New Orleans, labeled with local NOLA streets and features. #NOLA #NOLAsky

I just learned this history today after reading an email from Juan C. Andrade, the CEO of USAA. I thought the paragraph on the origins of Memorial Day was suspiciously lacking in detail.
In the years following the Civil War, families and communities gathered to honor the fallen by placing flowers on their graves. They came quietly, placing flowers, saying names, honoring lives that had been cut short. What began as a simple act of remembrance became a lasting national tradition.

I usually get Gala because they're cheaper than Cosmic Crisp, which I also like. Surprisingly, Granny Smith is another favorite of mine. Sometimes you want the tartness, you know?

When I was a kid, I remember picking out the res delicious apples with more yellow striations. I thought they were more ripe and that's why they tasted better. Now I know why they really were sweeter.

Why do red delicious apples taste bland? The original apple tasted great and had yellow stripes. Farmers favored the solid red apples. The yellow stripe genes were linked to the taste sweet genes. Breeding out the yellow stripes ruined the flavor. www.highcountryspotlight.com/spotlight/th...

The nicest thing you can say about Red Delicious apples is that they are uniformly red. That wasn’t always the case. Between 1910 and 2018 the Red Delicious was the

Along a random hallway at the LSU dental school, I stumbled upon a student art contest. These were two of the entries. The Cheshire Cat's teeth and eyes glow in the dark, which is a nice touch.
A pink and purple, fuzzy, striped Cheshire Cat grins while holding a toothbrush in its front arms. A diorama of Mt. Rushmore with four sets of teeth in poor shape replacing the four presidents. The title is Mount Brushmore.

Yesterday, I pulled into Breaux Mart at the same time this bike did. I can't decide if it would be comfortable to drive. Beautiful day for a ride in any case.
