I was hanging out at Backatown Coffee on North Rampart Street. I have been haunting a lot of coffee shops recently. I’ve been assigned a new beat. I can’t say it is any more or less interesting than my last assignment. Time will tell.

Steady work is nice when you can get it.

I had business in St. Roch yesterday. It wasn’t medical in nature, as most St. Roch business is. I steered clear of both cemeteries, No. 1 and No. 2. Nor was it market-related. The St. Roch Market is the most over-pretentious food court you have ever been in. I rarely have St. Roch Market business, though that may change. Mike the Marine has started tending the oyster bar.

Anyhow, I want to tell you about something I came across. It’s purported to be some kind of boss sweetener. It is sold to gullible people looking for improved working conditions. As soon as I heard about it, I said, “Where do I sign up?”

But, first, I have to put up the paywall.
