Are aliens controlling the weather? Contolling us?

[riff]

Good Friday in the French Quarter.

Current Atmospheric Water Vapor Conditions

I simply refuse to drive down there in the current conditions. Of course, if the clouds parted and the sun came out I would change my mind, but it had better happen damned quick as the clock does have a way of ticking.

It isn't a mere matter of clouds and rain. To be there in the rain or under the clouds is perfectly charming; however, I am daunted by the prospect of driving through it all.

New Orleans Current Conditions and Weekend Forcast

I'll be down there soon enough. Granted, life is short and Good Friday comes only once a year, but that is the way it goes. There are plenty of other Fridays, and the weather might be perfect according to my fantasy.

My fantasy... my fantasies.

Who are you? Well, I don't suppose I shall ever know. At least, I won't know with my ass stuck in front of a computer.

So I say- forgive a brother, forgive a sister for wanting to live. Everyone gets away with lies we tell to other people, but it is the lies we tell ourselves that get us into trouble. And we are all guilty of that. I forgive you.

And I forgive myself.

Goddamned fucking weather. I simply can't control it even though I am under it, all the time.

I need encouragement!

For God's sake go, riff. For what you want to do, does the weather matter?

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

Riff, Once you start drinking Hurricanes, you won't care about any other weather condition!

 

[Dillinger]

Dude.. its the Orbital Mind Control Lasers... where have you been?

 

[SINthysist]

The next time you speak with the aliens, please send us the rain. We need it. (My special crop needs it!).

Ask them about energy sources too while you're at it.

The last thing they gave me was that bogus cold fusion thing. Bet they had a good laugh! That one's on me...

Just don't feel like driving through that crap. And if it isn't crapping now, you can be assured it will be on the way home.

The Quarter is always there. Besides, I do want to make the trip. I have plenty of time. It's no biggie.

There are plenty of things and plenty of people I can divert myself with here where I live. Wherever I go, there I am.

How's life today in Normandy? I had a most interesting dinner with my parents last night. As we sliced up the dead cow, we discussed many topics.

My mother was all for me going to the Quarter today. My father could not grasp the importance of Good Friday. In explaining my fascination to him, I mentioned the topless conditions of Il De Orloron and told him I would like to go one day. My mother told me to be sure that I went before I turned into a "dirty old man."

I camped on the Buffalo River once for 10 days. I could not find a partner to go with me and it came down to a matter of, either you go alone or you don't go at all.

I flew to Moscow in similar conditions.

I enjoyed both trips immensely, but they did not involve driving though a falling bog.

Anyway, as we spoke of the home of my French ancestors, the conversation wound its way to geneology and I was given a thick folder of documents relating to my ancestry. I thought of you in Normandy. I am not as exclusively French-bred as I had thought! It goes way beyond that!

I bet that's a relief - no risk of inbreeding on Oleron when we get there the, riff. Glad your mum still thinks your not a dirty old man yet. Best to keep the fossils ignorant.

Hello to Dillinger, Green-Eyed Girl, and one stuck in Kansas!

LOL SIN- I have said before that Louisiana is the asshole of North America and the people there are turds, but I am DAMNED glad I ain't in Kansas. LOL

 

[SINthysist]

We refer to NO, not as the big easy, but as the toilet of the midwest (cause all the BULLSHIT gets washed into the Kaw and Missouri and into the Mississippi, and, well, you get the picture...).

 

[riff]

One of the best friends of my life was from Clearwater. Jazz pianist. God I miss him. Fucker is on tour in south Florida, but lives in Vegas now. That's another place I want to go, again, soon.

yes, yes. I get the picture.

Hello yourself Riff

I've been to NO once, had a fabulous time despite the fact that it was the only place I have ever been mugged. I grew up in a big bad city, and had to go on vacation to get mugged.
Where else can you have beignets, chicory coffee, hurricanes in the street, and drunk frat boys staggering up to yell "Show us yout tits!" ?
Hope you get there soon!

 

[riff]

It's not too far. I am considering moving there too.

 

[Dillinger]

I have such a wonderful memory of having beignets and coffe at Café du Monde - what a simply wonderful earthly version of heaven that was!

 

[riff]

There is still time left. I am watching the weather. I could leave at noon, and be there easily.

How I love torturing myself! LOL
