You're three-quarters of the way across the country - almost all the way to the Northwest. Maybe you can make it to an Emerald City Con in Seattle some year.

That awkward moment when you're walking down French Quarter with your family and a stripper on the street asks you to come into her strip club.

I went to college @ Oswego for 2 years. Right on Lake Ontario. And some idiot put 2 nice tall buildings side by side near the shore. So we had the cold Canadian wind blowing across the lake and funneled between the buildings. We called it the wind tunnel. I had to walk across campus from a night class once, and by the time I got to my dorm (thru the tunnel) my beard was almost solid ice.

My wife has inquired thinking I would take the invitation to go to one, as it doesn't bother her. I told her the only way I'd go to a club like that is with her as a protective barrier. I don't want that attention and don't care for it. Id rather drink and watch her get a dance. We haven't done it yet but then strip clubs in Oklahoma are like the Disney of adult entertainment cause good "Christians" don't succumb to desires of the flesh despite the numerous liquor stores, discount tabacco, strip clubs and porn stores. It sucks living amongst a lie.

Sounds like the road trip is taking the scenic route.

Had a nice day at bookstores yesterday just roaming the isles and soaking up the enjoyment of the experience. I purchased a book about sharks, beautifully bound for just a few dollars. Another book I purchased was a recent book published on the Titanic. It wasn't as good, as the writing was often rambling and made for a jarring experience.

This surely goes without saying, but if you're in New Orleans, make sure you go to Cafe du Monde for beignets and chicory coffee. Some tour guides and locals may try to suggest that other places have better beignets. Those people are liars. Do not believe them.

Used to live across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, but haven't been back since Mardis Gras in, I believe, early '93. Cafe du Monde certainly lives up to its rep, or at least did then, though of course I'd as soon drink antifreeze as hot coffee, chicory or otherwise.
