Tiger in a truckstop — this is a travesty! UPDATED

Has anyone heard of this situation? Apparently, a real, live Tiger is being kept in a tiny cage at a truckstop called “The Tiger Truckstop” in Louisiana. Can this be even real? I mean, who, what kind of person, would imprison a big cat like this?

“It’s not a spill” says Crawfish Monica!

I heard on the Louisiana Gumbo radio show tonight that Monica Spain — one-half of the mural-magicians that will be featured on Treme tonight — say “It’s not a spill!” She was referring to the travesty in the Gulf with BP’s oil disaster.

Face-off with Facebook

A little over a year ago, I set up a Facebook page at the urging of a friend. We’re both creative types and he thought a Facebook page might help me spread the word about my book, Sideways in Sarasota. I’ve had a love/hate, mostly hate!, relationship with Facebook ever since. I’ve enjoyed the occasional […]
