    In new orleans they speak their own language, cajun french,
    Backwards french..
    Even understanding spanish, but spanish can not understand the speach either.

    You ask, “Hey man, I gotta go to Lot L2902. Which way?”
    They come back with this

    I havent been there in about 7 months, but I been in there about 20 times, I know where to go there now.
    Jacksonville Fl port sucks too,
    First thing guards ask
    “You gotta weapon?”
    “Yep”
    “You cant have a weapon.”
    “Wait. We already have discussed this, thats a useless information at this time question.”
    It loaded?
    “No, I thought I could throw it at the bad guy, he could have a loaded magizine, catch, then load my gun that was thrown at him and he could shoot me with it, havent you seen John Wick?”
    Sir, you need to pull inside and off to the left for inspection.
    “To find the weapon I told you was there?” And I am licensed to carry and own, and in my own truck?”
    “Well I don’t like Florda, so we’re even.”

    I dont do ports anymore, New year thing, “No Ports.”

    “Do not pass Fedex terminal! Residental area fine $2500!’

    That’s what the shop says it’s gonna take to fix the truck. Have to see what the insurance company is going to say about that.
