i was looking for articles about baseball in new orleans, to see if there was any action on getting a team back since their triple-a team moved out after the 2019 season ended. what i found was mention of a city that got a team back and it has been going well, in huntsville, alabama. the team was regionalized, and is called the rocket city trash pandas. and it was from a new orleans perspective, saying there was some street names with a new orleans theme. this was iberville, bienville, st. louis, poydras, and napolean. had to look up each one to know who they were. with the first two i found out this went back to when the area was known as new france, and wikipedia states that bienville was iberville's younger brother. st. louis is a cathedral in new orleans, oldest one in continuous use in the USA. poydras was the catalyst in the promotion of statehood for louisiana, and helped draft the state's constitution. the fifth one is a house in the french quarter. there is a legend that it would be a house for napoleon bonaparte after his exile. it was also known as the nicolas girod house, who had been mayor of the city. always pleased with what i learn about history when the opportunities exist. at work i was asked if any parts had arrived for the check printer, and i said they had, already noted the ticket on the previous day. so it looks like the technician will arrive the next morning for installation. my boss was asking as well. 'the conners' was mostly about darlene struggling to find a job, although it was due to her own bad choices. later on i went on a walk and found 51 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when amy hesitated to tell sheldon about being offered a fellowship at princeton. it was followed by the one where leonard tried to watch nebraska football with penny but decided to fly kites with the friends.
