Americas most violent cities ...New Orleans is NOT is this top five

But again they dont have 1/2 million but non the less New Orleans is a great place..dont buy off the street, walk in lights, stay in groups when possible, take a cab whenever you think you should.

Have a great time for those of you coming for the first time, don't let New Orleans reputation keep you away ever, and just follow simple rules

Saint Louis fell from 1st, to 2nd, and now not even in the top 5?

statistics can be very misleading. STL is separate from STL county. many other metropolitan areas include more 'burbs so that helps dilute the crimes.
other cities may suffer from the same statistical anomalies.

No doubt that statistics and poles ( thinking about you and pole dancing) can be manipulated to get the desired results but glad that NOLA wasn't the top story when crime is mentioned. Real or imagined.

Back to finish your twelve hours? :)

its been an odd day. my body seems to know its fest. i woke up early/on time, and even though i hadnt had enough sleep yet, my body forced itself up (this is unusual unless i'm on vacation). all day i've had a mild case of school picnic stomach. and the weather here is unseasonable warm (warmer than nola). i had the afternoon off and where we went for lunch had gumbo & jamalya on the 'cuban buffet'. i go to get a beer hugger out of the drawer and there's a jazzfest one (ok not that unusual). but you get the idea.

i'm not ate up about not being there, partly because i have not looked at the 1st weekend cubes. if the reviews and the 'f&*%ing fantastic day' posts start getting to be too much, i may have to sign off for a while. plus i need to try on the shorts and try to find sandals that have a mate.
