Folks, grass is all over the news these days and not the smoking variety.  Here in Bay St Louis grass was recently topical as the City actually terminated its outside contract for cutting grass on city rights of way etc citing the resulting savings as one of the major items that helped it make ends meet … Continue reading “The Green Green Gra$$ of Jefferson Parish.

I understand the FBI has been visiting Nan and the gang over at West Jefferson Medical center again….
