Plodding Along . . .

We keep plodding along.  Not much happening.  Things are mundane.  

Football season has started.  I do not watch pro football anymore unless someone else watches it.  I just do not select it.  I find it very predictable.  College football is exciting, it is unpredictable thus much more entertaining.

LSU is off to a poor start.  The primary quarterback broke his left arm just before the season started and the number two quarterback is in play.  He has done so so.  The offensive line is already beat up after the first game and thus they look kind of lackluster.  I think it is going to be a tough season for the Tigers this year.  Lots of potential but no real winners abound.

It is getting cooler at night indicating fall is approaching.  Days remain hot and Hurricanes abound.  Right now it is Nicholas but it is not gonna bother us up here in North Texas.  We had some cloudy days and a bit of spitting sprinkles but no rain, nothing, nada.  South Texas and South Louisiana are gonna catch it again but mostly rain with some wind, but nothing like Ida.

New Roads that escaped any serious Ida weather will probably get a lot of rain out of Nicholas.  And that will not go down well.  The people are getting tired of it.  False River will probably rise and be slow to fall as the run off will be slow.  The country side is soaked, so the water has move on down to the Gulf of Mexico as there is now where for it to soak up.  That makes all the rivrs, bayous, and sloughs slow to empty.

Soon it will be grinding season and sugar cane will be harvested. Pointe Coupee Parish is now the largest producer of sugar in  the state.  We always did well but were second to the river parishes.  Times have changed much of the river parishes are now chemical plants and industrial development.  Pointe Coupee being up river will probably not have that happen anytime in my life time.  I do expect it will happen but not for the next 20 or so years.

Time keeps rolling on.  Take care.
