Tuesday in N'awlins

Back at Sat Truck at the Superdome.

Busy today. carson and i haven't stopped since about 8ish Got to truck around 2:30.
All this cajun cuisine and we can't get a pizza delivered.
Called a pizza place and told them i was Harry Connick Jr.....and they delivered it.
Asked them if i could deliver the next pizza to Harry's place and they said sure..."Harry is a great tipper."

Judging from what I remember about Harry's lovely wife, he can apparently talk a good game as well.

We've worked a ton today. One thing that is tough about bowl games is that you have to cover so much ground and you can't
get a parking place and towing is a revenue source.
(NO CARSON! THAT IS A REAL FIRE HYDRANT AND THEY DON'T KNOW US HERE! KEEP MOVING)

The French Quarter is jammed today. No parking places. It's easier to take a cab and just have them drop you off.
Or you can park three miles away, and walk in....and that cost you time which is the most valuable commodity you have working out of town under deadline. We grab a bite anywhere we can...just wolf something down and keep walking.
So Carson and I have been doing a ton of hiking around the Quarter and downtown. Walk 30 minutes. Do interviews. Walk 30 minutes back to the car and hope it hasn't been towed cause Carson parked it in a loading zone.


By the way....many of the New Orleans police officers are some of the nicest people in the world. (Long story and no chance of it making on this blog....but if you see me at Masons, I might tell you the story.)

The Sugar Bowl showdown special is tonight. Got a ton of work to do!

Bama fans outnumber Utah fans pretty substantially.

We went to the National World War II museum today. Extraordinary. The guy who designed the boats used to hit the beaches on D-Day was from New Orleans. Eisenhower once said that the man that designed the boats....Andrew Jackson Higgins...was the man who won the war for the Allies. The "Higgins Boats" ran on the beach ad the front dropped down letting soldiers hit the beach.

Emotional visit to a remarkable museum.

More later when I have time.

Also more from the Quarter with Carson below.
