OWH, reckon you might feel inclined to start doing your Notes threads if Jones comes out and shows us something to be hopeful about?

Kenner Police say a man died inside a beer cooler at a convenient store on Airline Drive overnight, but no one knew he was there until they found his very cold body this morning.

“We have a gentleman that went into the Beer Cave, where you can go in and select beer from inside the cooler. It appears that he had experienced some type of medical problem,” Sgt. Brian McGregor told WWL First News.

McGregor says surveillance video shows the man clutching his chest in the cooler around 10:30pm last night and then collapsing. They found him after 7:00am.

I'm all for changing things up a little bit but I don't know about this. I think it would depend on the uniforms that would go with it and I'm still not sure I would like it then.

I wouldn't want an all out change. Doing something different from time to time is fun though. I buy into the thought that uniforms help recruiting. That stuff matters to 17 and 18 year olds.

I think you are right. Changing things up from time to time is fun and can excite memebers of the team and the fan base. And whether people want to admit it or not uniforms matter to some recruits.

I think the helmet looks cool. I think I would rather have it in my UT room than to see it on the field though. I am ok with special helmets/uniforms every now adn then. The times need to be few and far between to really make it mean something though.

Listening to npr on the way back to work... I discovered the theft of Tide bottles has become a big problem....


_As the cases piled up after his team’s first Tide-theft bust, Thompson sought an answer to the riddle at the center of the crimes: What did thieves want with so much laundry soap? To find out, he and his unit pored over security recordings to identify prolific perpetrators, whom officers then tracked down and detained for questioning. “We never promised to go easy on them, but they were willing to talk about it,” Thompson says. “I guess they were bragging.” It turned out the detergent wasn’t *being used as an ingredient in some new recipe for getting high, but instead to buy drugs themselves. Tide bottles have become ad hoc street currency, with a 150-ounce bottle going for either $5 cash or $10 worth of weed or crack cocaine. On certain corners, the detergent has earned a new nickname: “Liquid gold.” The Tide people would never sanction that tag line, of course. But this unlikely black market would not have formed if they weren’t so good at pushing their product.

Downloaded a new camera for my phone. The pics wouldn't post because it said they were too big. Can't adjust the size of the pics with the standard camera.
