Day 13 #TeslaNashvilleRoadTrip
Day in New Orleans. Walking 27,000 steps
The Index of all 30 posts from day 1 of our #TeslaRoadTripUSA is HERE.
My Phone charge ran out before the end of the NOLA walk, so my step count is missing more than 5,000 steps. We walked over 27,000 steps around NOLA today.
Our walk started at the Court for an update on my case in Louisiana. My Andrew VS U.S Government Law suit is progressing. ‘Mass Murder with premeditation’. Talking it through with the court to see how best to file in the State of Louisiana for the best chance of successfully bringing this action.
Walked over ten miles through the city and suburbs. The Garden District. Once the area with plantation houses for the white and rich slave owners. With big gardens. Hence the garden district. But the big lots were subdivided so now not many big gardens left although the name stuck, as did the few remaining amazingly large plantation houses.
Famous residents include Sandra Bullock, Nicholas Cage and Trent Reznor. It’s 86 degrees right now. High humidity.
Hospice is closed. Its a big building. Looks like its been closed for some time. There are many homeless and in need in NOLA. Although I did see NOLA is not in the top ten for most homeless. (New York is #1.) Meaning a lot of progress has happened here.
California accounted for nearly 30% of all homelessness in America, based on the 2023 estimates. Yet standardized by population, the states with the highest rates of homelessness were New York (5.2 people experiencing homelessness per 1,000 residents), Vermont (5.1), Oregon (4.8) and California (4.6).
Back on Bourbon Street for early dinner. The Christians are recruiting. Powerful mental illness that is blasted through blown speakers, just as I remember from visits to Islamic countries where the call for prayer benefits from identical sound values..
John Kennedy Toole wrote about the Christian scourge in his masterpiece book “A Confederacy of Dunces”. A strong recommend for an insight into the unique valuesof NOLA.
“This city is famous for its gamblers, prostitutes, exhibitionists, anti-Christs, alcoholics, sodomites, drug addicts, fetishists, onanists, pornographers, frauds, jades, litterbugs, and lesbians, all of whom are only too well protected by graft."
All of which is true of NOLA. The extremes are all too evident. The freedoms enjoyed here represent the best and the worst of good and bad decision making.
Here’s tonight’s Christians out saving souls on Bourbon Street.
Pictures from the walk up Magazine Street through the garden district.
In the evening we walked to the 7 pm sailing of the Natchez Riverboat which provides good photo opportunities of the mighty Mississippi River.
Goodbye Bourbon Street. The first of the Big Three B’s for fun roads in America. (Beale Street in Memphis and Broadway in Nashville, the other two.)
Tomorrow driving through Mississippi to Tennessee.
