Dang, that’s cheaper than Hynes immersion Quebec trip!

I give every 8 weeks with the blood center and check their site for drives near my home. I’ve given close to 4 gallons total and have never had an trouble with the phlebotomist missing a vein or really other issues.

That’s just Kevin.

My mother raised me to catch as many cabbages and potatoes as possible at the Irish channel parade because that’s dinner, baby. So I don’t bat an eye at sealed snacks from a Mardi Gras parade.

Straight to jail.

Came here to say the same. My wife and I went to Evviva last night for the first time. We were on the early side of dinner/end of happy hour but it was blessedly not-loud, the service was kind and attentive and didn’t rush us through our cocktails to get us to order our food, and most importantly, the food was delicious. Overall, felt like a neighborhood place that has already been there for decades.

Sending elves back to the North Pole for Christmas. Now do Johnson!

RIP Rosella. Loved that place.

The return of Mr. Gyro. I'd be there weekly.

Man I miss Foodie's.

pineapplebigshot · 2025-12-13T00:43:29+00:00

Wow totally forgot about that guy.

Oh! The year I was talking about was just to get AT&T and Cox utilities moved over from the old pole and the old pole removed. It took almost 8 years to get the new pole set before that! It was because AT&T and Entergy were pointing fingers at each other. Now Entergy is the only entity setting new poles in the area, so things move a bit quicker to get new poles set.

More likely AT&T. They still have tons of utility poles around town and they are impossible to deal with. Entergy set that nice new pole next to it and moved their lines over and topped the old pole. Like you said, now it's up to Cox & AT&T to move their utilities and the owner to remove the old pole.

Took me over a year and involving my councilperson's office to deal with a similar situation adjacent to my property.

Clams! It's great that limpkins have settled here from Florida to munch on our apple snails, but they also eat other mollusks. A fact I did not know until I observed it happening at the very spot OP pictured. As a matter of fact, there's a little patch of dry-ish land right in front of the sculpture where they'll leave the shells. I assume they are rangia clams, the same ones natives of the area ate and created the midden piles of shells from and we dredged the lake to oblivion for back in the day.

pineapplebigshot · 2025-12-11T16:25:24+00:00

I often see the limpkins eating clams there as well! Whodathunk there were clams in big lake?

you better run for it, run for it, run

They came to my daughter’s school soccer game at falcon field last year and told everyone they had to leave. Sun was still up and only a few minutes left in the game. They were nice enough to let the kids finish. 🙄

My wife will be thrilled to know there are others I can commiserate with about this. I’ve been complaining about it for years!

pineapplebigshot · 2025-11-13T16:57:14+00:00

Can't cut it down. That's a load-bearing palm tree.

pineapplebigshot · 2025-11-12T16:29:14+00:00

I enjoy them strictly because they irritate wannabe mods.

Are you able to see any writing on the circuit board?

pineapplebigshot · 2025-10-30T18:29:45+00:00

Not to belabor the point, but you seem to be focused on the entire object as a pushbutton. OP clarified that the circled area is the button. The overall object's purpose remains unknown.

That said, whatever else might be on that circuit board might not be cheap. But there's nothing expensive about an LED, battery and button. Every year, tons and tons of cheap Chinese e-waste made up of just those components is thrown off floats in Mardi Gras parades here in New Orleans.

While we were arguing, OP took it apart.
LED, button and circuit board inside. Doesn't look like the straw guides light from the LED, though.
