Negative PR, murders, corruption, another hurricane season, Nagin, Jefferson, Blanco…need I say more? Honestly, Louisiana is taking a beating in the PR war. I have officially decided (like that makes a difference) that Louisiana needs to take the “car salesman” approach (no offense if you sell cars – hey everyone has to make a living). It is so simple :

1. What is it going to take to get you in this (car) state?
2. If you already (drive a ____ fill in a vehicle type) live here, what will it take to make you (keep driving the same vehicle) stay in Louisiana?

I only wish I could snap my fingers and make it all better! Now if I can just keep my parents currently living in Massachusetts away from the news. They really love it here and want to move here permanently!

Did I mention that I love it here more and more every day?
