I love New Orleans......

I really do. But....it's a frickin' difficult job to keep defending her. And getting harder by the day.

Maybe it's the idea of New Orleans I love. ....Sort of like France. Good food! Good drink! Good music! The whole l'art de vivre. (Maybe the English have a point when they 'supposedly' say, "love France — pity about the French.")

Oh, well. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

C'est la vie ! I guess.
