    For today's lunch, I'm trying #Whataburger. People from #Texas seem to think it is wonderful, but my experiences in #Louisiana were inconsistent. Maybe this location in #Alabama will be different.

    @clacke Sweden's water sounds great.

    I have worked in 15 US states and I have never found a place where tap water tastes good. I always have to buy a filter or just buy bottled water.

    The worst places were in #Mississippi (Jackson, Starkville #MS), #Louisiana (Baton Rouge #LA) and #California (Irwindale #CA).

    In Irwindale, the water came out looking like diluted milk ... and stayed that way several minutes later. It is an old rock quarrying town, so I suspect it was just rock debris suspended in the water.

    In Mississippi, the water came out yellow for a few days before getting clear again. The same thing happened in #Baton_Rouge, but it was only one or two days and it only happened once.

    RE: https://nu.federati.net/notice/3402037

    If you like Popeye's fried chicken (the "spicy" version), you should try to visit Baton Rouge at least once. The gas station is across the street from the Greyhound bus station and it has the best tasting fried chicken that I've found.

    Like most food in #Louisiana, it is salty. In this case, though, it isn't so salty that your mouth tingles or anything like that. You definitely do not want to make it your daily lunch or anything like that.

    I don't currently have any specific plans to visit #Baton_Rouge, but I would like to go spend a week or so in Louisiana, including a day or two in #New_Orleans.

      I wanted fried chicken all day, so I walked to Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen and got their imitation of the #Baton_Rouge gas station's chicken.

    S informed me that her most recent supervisor had requested that she be suspended. Which she only found out by calling to find out why they hadn't called her for any of the available assignments.

    After filing a mistreatment claim, they unsuspended her, but only because they did not follow established procedures in the process.

    She can be cantankerous. One time, we were both working in #Louisiana. At pretty much every hotel I've been in, if you're in #LA or #MS, they go through your unlocked suitcases every day. She decided to confront the hotel manager about it and got kicked out of the hotel ... had to rush to find another place to stay that night.

    As far as I can tell, they don't open TSA locks, so I just locked my stuff and carried all my electronics in the trunk of the rental car.

    Slowly assembling the team that will work here. K is here, but not in my building. I and E in my building, but are each being sent to take over another one soon.

    Advance teams from another agency have shown up, but they (and most of around 50 other federal agencies) are preoccupied with #Louisiana right now. And I guess parts of #Texas, #Mississippi, #Alabama as well.

    So far, no familiar faces from other agencies, but I seeing people from $EMPLOYER that I haven’t seen in person since 2015, 2017, 2019.

    Ida lands as a category 4 hurricane with estimated sustained winds of 150MPH and gusts of 185MPH. #LA is getting torn up from the winds and the flooding. (I saw storm surge forecasts of 15ft last night, I’d guess even more ocean water than expected got pushed onshore with this higher wind speed.)

    I really hope most people got out of Dodge before the storm arrived. Otherwise, this is conversation with your Maker time in #Louisiana and probably #Mississippi ( #MS ) and #Alabama ( #AL ) right now.

    Outer tropical storm force winds from #Hurricane #Ida are probably already starting to come onshore in #Louisiana. It is 01:05 CDT, 2021-AUG-29 ... sixteen years to the day after Hurricane #Katrina came onshore. Ida is a Category 3 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 115MPH.

    #TD-10 forms in the Atlantic. Expected to stay in the open ocean and not threaten land.

    Meanwhile, #Hurricane #Ida is still headed for the US Gulf Coast ( most likely #Louisiana ). Currently 100MPH winds, moving NW at 16MPH. Storm surge estimate: up to 7-11 feet of seawater above normally dry ground.

    For the past few days, the $EMPLOYER cellphone has been getting an increased number of spam calls. I don’t answer any of them, and I block each number after the fact (despite knowing the numbers are spoofed, I know they will sometimes re-use a number).

    So far, every number is from #Louisiana. The marketers are likely NOT in #LA, but they are just spoofing numbers there.

    > ... the [US] South and China, two places where people know how to eat.

    I haven't been to #China, so I have no opinion on their food (except I know it differs from what we know as #Chinese_food in the US). However, I have worked in #Alabama, #Mississippi, and #Louisiana.

    Overall, I was not impressed. #LA had the best food of the three, but it was usually so highly salted that I quickly went back to putting some rice, meat, and beans in a slow-cooker.

    The exception was lunchtime: whenever I could make it there, I went to a particular gas station in Baton Rouge to buy lunch. Imagine Popeye's Famous Louisiana chicken, but turned up to 11! (Or maybe Popeye's took the gas station recipe and dialed it down a notch or two.) Anyway, that was good, though that much fried food is naturally unhealthy.

    ( @p@freespeechextremist.com won't see this, but that's okay. )
