Also, if you like kittens you'll like this story
| By Bob Warren Saints chaos: Uh-oh. Just when things were looking up for the Saints, we learned Friday that the team is dealing with some big-time COVID problems heading into Monday night’s game against the Dolphins. Among those testing positive – quarterback Taysom Hill and backup Trever Siemian. That means rookie Ian Book is likely to get the start. And here’s the, uh, book on Book. (Sorry, couldn’t pass that one up…) Ida economy: Our economy is also in the news this morning, and it ain’t pretty. Here’s how Hurricane Ida battered the economy. Losing people: Census estimates say Louisiana shrank by more than 27,000 people. The pandemic and, of course, the hurricanes of 2020 are a likely factor, Jeff Adelson reports. Guide cat: Finally, we’ve got a happy story for you today. Three kittens abandoned after Hurricane Ida have found a new home on the northshore. But here’s the kicker – two of them are totally blind and the third, who has one eye, acts has become their guide. Purrr-fect. (Sorry again!) Hope you enjoyed the Lunch Line. Thanks for taking a break with us today. BW |
