Jackson Jambalaya

St. Dominics has their own tank and water well. They don't depend on Jackson. Maybe Good's restaurants should follow the example.

Queen guppie your timing and humor both suck.

Feel better Jeff

Here's to hoping Jeff gets well soon.
As to 3:09's dumb as hell comment, it'd simply be easier to just move to a first world city than to build out 3 separate well water systems.

Queen guppie your timing and humor both suck.

And you read and still comment.

Hope you feel better. Prayers for you and your family and staff.

Best wishes to Mr. Good, who I usually harass here. You still need to serve time, after you get out of the hospital, though, for claiming to make New York quality pizza. Sing Sing, for sure.

The worst thing about it must have been regaining consciousness, saying, "Whew. For a minute there, I had a horrible nightmare- that I was living in Jackson, Mississippi! What a relief! Wait..."

3:09, yes, St D's has their own water well, as do all big hospitals, here and elsewhere. Just as they all have backup generators for electrical power. Cannot be a trauma center without both.

Thanks for your comment though. It was helpful for all of us to understand what that big tower is beside the hospital with what looked like a bulb on top of it was. Appreciate your helping clear that up.

Best wishes and hope for a good and safe recovery. What would we do without the businesses he and his partner have developed? My family and I have enjoyed many meals at Bravo and has always, in my book, been my favorite. The economy ( the one which HAS NOT OPENED UP FULLY YET) will take its toll on many businesses. I hope that places like Bravo, Broad Street and Sal and Mookies along with many many others survive this abomination that Fauci and the CL.....ns formulated to control the political landscape. Face it, it destroyed many livelihoods and laid setbacks for lifetimes....but, we will survive, make the best of this, and some of us will not wear a mask. I don’t like being mandated to do that. Ok, now let’s get back to Jeff. He and many others now have the voice to prove and show that it’s time for a change in the leadership of Jackson. The water situation has become a nightmare. My office has not had water for two weeks. I Shut it down and work from my home. I really think that the way water is distributed is going to change. Several wells need to be drilled in Jackson and areas that are vacant need to be shut off. Belhaven, Fondren and Eastover have the means to drill their own wells and supply their own residents. Let Jackson take care of the rest. If we can do this in the county outside the city limits then it can be done in those places also.

7:18 - damn, lets put you in charge, you have the answers.

First, the idea that COVID has destroyed many livelihoods (which I agree it has) but you think it is because the government decided to do that rather than to destroy many more LIVES. And you think "we will survive", which is true for many, but you seem only to care that the "we" that includes you actually, and technically, "Survive".

I don't like to be mandated to do anything either, but I realize that there is a certain amount of control that does exist in a functioning society. I am told I must wear shoes and c a shirt to enter a restaurant, or that I can't drive at 80 mph on a city street. I cannot hunt deer in March, or catch fish over a certain size in some waters. Hell, I can't even shoot an alligator in my backyard due to certain mandates.

But if you are so hardheaded, or arrogant, to think that your mug should be seen by any and everybody, have at it. In fact, the state has not really "mandated" mask wearing because it has not put any penalties on people who don't follow. Evidently your disregard for your fellow citizens is so strong, and your narcissist ego is so big that you are above that kind of activity.

But now, with you in charge, we would allow private drilling of wells in the city of Jackson? Do you realize that the aquifer that supplies the water for Jackson would soon be depleted if a large part of the city were to follow your engineering advice? That's the reason Jackson, and any large city that has access to a source, don't use well water but depend on surface water.

I'm not defending the city, its leadership, or its aged pipes (which in addition to your drilling of wells would also have to be replaced - a minor detail you left out of your grand plan). Nor am I defending the management of this crisis. But your 'simple solution' to solve this mess doesn't quite fit the bill as practical.

You guys manage to take a story of a slip and fall and make it about how much y’all hate Jackson. Seriously, get checked out. As fun as I’m sure you are at parties, it cannot be healthy to be so obsessed about a place you likely do not live.

If you make a connection between a slip and fall and how bad the location is, I know plenty of trial lawyers who would LOVE to have you on their juries.

7:21, my favorite trials were where a criminal defendant used a "trial lawyer" (ambulance chaser), instead of a real lawyer. Or, the many where the "trial lawyer" was himself on trial. 100% conviction rate.

Did you ever hear that most actual litigators don't "slip and fall' running after Pafford or AMR E350s? (KF recommends Johnston and Murphys for better traction)

Don't know you Jeff, but keep up the deep breathing exercises and coughing to fight off the development of Pneumonia. Do well and wishing you Godspeed.

Get well soon Mr. Good.

I've experienced a few cracked ribs during my lifetime, and that was the worst pain I've endured.
(And that Includes more than a few "man-part injuries" on the High School football field).

Years later, I tripped in a dry parking-lot during mid July and bruised some more bones.
Although the pain was immense, my pride was hurt worse from falling down in front of a crowd.

LOL

Anyway, you will recover !
All will be back to normal sooner rather than later.

Dayum! Fifteen posts wishing a pizza joint owner would get well quick. I was just looking for the latest Sid Salter blurb.
