New Orleans was awesome even though tropical strm Irene was pounding south Louisiana and we got soaked several times. The rain and wind was a fair trade-off for the heat and humidity. We had some good laughs at the fundamentalist protesters and I even had a little fun getting in their face. Melissa thought I was going to get in a fight and get arrested when I stood up for a very nice lady that was being treated horribly by the owners of N'awlins Cafe And Spice Emporium.

http://www.wdsu.com/food/28577413/detail.html used the F word repeatedly with her and she was only trying to do the right thing and pay for the jar of stuff that broke as she was trying to pay for it. The fat little weasal on the right came around the counter and got in my face and told me it wasn't any of my business and I informed him VERY loudly that "I just made it my business" and that I wasn't going to stand silently while they treat someone in my presence with such rudeness and disrespect.
I may look like a powder puff in my avatar but I am still very strong, even by male standards. My adrenaline was so high and I was so mad that I would have seriously hurt him if he had touched me in any way. Melissa finally drug me away because the shop owners called the cops from the scene I made with them.
We ate too much jambalaya, gumbo and beignets and the time slipped away, way too fast. I can't wait until our next adventure together but I honestly don't care where it is as long as I am with her.
