I love this, Jonathan. It feels perfectly suited to the moment (meteorological and other seasons).
And I'm quite fond of Lake Pontchartrain. I won't soon forget crossing it on the causeway and seeing NOLA floating on air as I approached the southern shore.
Thank you, Jeremy. I have a fond recollection riding a Greyhound bus across to Covington in a thunderstorm in 1989. It was raining so hard, the bus, the rain, and the lake all merged into a strange and singular flow state. This time, my wife and I could see it from our hotel room and we had the same sensation you describe but in reverse -- the rim of the lake seemed to be suspended above the city, ready to spill down into it.

I now know what sazerac is, thinking what a world if there were a lake full of…
Beautiful beautiful …
What a wondeful world it would be
A lot more smiling, that’s for sure
