I went to Walmart in Carencro to get a replacement bulb for the turn indicator on my wife's vehicle. All of the vehicle bulbs are locked up in a glass shelving unit. Strange times.

I was helping a client build a house a few years ago. His framing carpenter was using his nail gun when, all of a sudden, it quit working. The carpenter went to the front of the house and saw his air compressor was stolen. I said that's a hell of a thing, here is this guy trying to make a living and some low life steals his air compressor.. sad sad sad.

This is just one operation busted this year.

There was a bust in Chicago that made this one look like chump change. Allegedly had a storefront for new tools on the dark web.

Home Depot and Lowes instruct their employees not to stop thieves due to liability and thieves take advantage.

This Academy employee got fired for trying to stop a thief

It’s going to get to the point retailers will look at the security at places like Jarad’s Jewelers as models.

The traditional, sweet nuggets are awesome, but these are downright addictive...

The exit of of the east bound interstate is a three lane exit. West bound exit is 2 lane. Louisiana Avenue is a four lane boulevard with dedicated turning lanes. East pont des mouton road is also a 4 lane boulevard for a portion of the frontage. They constructed a 3 lane Upper Lafayette Parkway out side of controlled access and parallel to the east bound exit. I think this should be more than adequate to handle traffic for the Buc-ees.

Buc-ees is great, people in Louisiana are going to love it. Some people in Texas are crazy about it. I like it when I travel, restrooms are amazing!
