Riding Out The Storm

I’ll admit, I’m kind of nervous tonight.
It’s an eerie feeliing knowing a monster is just a few hours away.  I hope he shows some mercy.

Board At Work

The hotel we’re staying at in Metairie just informed us they are evacuating everyone Sunday morning at eight o’clock.
Employees have been busy cutting plywood to put on the windows.  I’m not sure when they will start boarding the place up, but my guess would be as soon as the last person is out the door.

Bracing For Gustav

Photographer Thomas LaValley and I met up with some people in the St. Charles Parish town of Destrehan who were busy filling sandbags.
While some of these people were preparing to stay home and brace the storm, some of their neighbors were busy boarding up their windows and packing their vehicles.
One woman told us she learned [...]

Gustav… Here “Eye” Come!

I just finished packing my bag for the gulf.  I’ll be heading down south first thing in the morning.  I’m kind of excited, but apprehensive at the same time.  Pray nobody is seriously injured when it makes landfall.  I’ve already prayed for those who have lost their lives.

UGH!!! Why Can’t I Get Mugged?

 Wow! Look how angry presidential candidate John McCain got when he realized that puny little coffee mug wasn’t a chrisredford.com mug.  Don’t fret, Johnny… your mug’s coming!

I Got Mugged Too!

Bossier City Mayor Lorenz “Lo” Walker was a great sport about getting mugged, but right after he posed for the pic… he insisted I get mugged as well.
I’m now the proud owner of a very nice “City of Bossier City” mug.Â
Might I add… Lo Walker is a lot more photogenic than me.  I always take [...]

Look Who Got Mugged!

I told you all I’d get Mayor Cedric Glover to pose for a “mug shot.”
Even though he didn’t really say it, I could tell he was thinking, “Hmmm… this is one heck of a mug!”
I’ll bet the mayor’s coffee never tasted so good!!!
Who should I mug next?

They’re In!!!

I’m so excited. My chrisredford.com t-shirt and coffee mug just arrived.Â
They were both reasonably priced and I plan to buy some more for my friends and family for Christmas.  Shhhhhh… don’t tell, it’s going to be a surprise.
I plan to take the mug around town and collect “mug shots” with several people.  I want Mayor Cedric [...]

I’m not going to finish the above saying, but you all know how it goes.
Give me a topic and I’ll give you my opinion.  Keep it fun, real… and not too personal!

What A Load Of Bull!

I just read an article on Yahoo! news about some Nigerian authority who said victims of the famous “nigerian scams” should be jailed too.  He called them just as greedy as the scammers.  I think the morons are just trying to justify their illegal behavior.  How can they milk thousands of people dry with bogus [...]
