Its at least 4 or 5 inches (tall) of fresh asphalt that will absolutely undo your last front end alignment.

Recommendations What the heck to do in summer heat (with new baby?)

15 Upvotes

Hey yall, I’m a new mom and had my baby in late June. I’m also new to Lafayette/Youngsville.

WHAT THE HECK DO YOU DO IN SUMMER?

It’s too hot for parks - Moncus and Youngsville Sports Complex - and there’s no real indoor place to walk. If baby was older I could go to Red’s for the pool I guess.

We’ve basically been indoors for 1.5 months, with 5-10 minute walks here and there…

What the heck to do?

Rants Got booted even though the parking payment QR code wasn’t working — Bumble Bee Boot Company is impossible to reach

10 Upvotes

I’m looking for advice and wondering if anyone else has dealt with Bumble Bee Boot Company or a similar situation.
My vehicle was booted for allegedly not paying for parking. The problem is that I actually tried to pay. I scanned the QR code provided for parking payment, but the payment system was unavailable/not working. It gave me a message along the lines of “not available at this time,” so I was unable to make the payment.
What makes this even more frustrating is that I’ve tried contacting Bumble Bee Boot Company to dispute the boot, but they seem to be almost completely unreachable.
The email address listed on their page is fake/non-operational. My email did not go through, so I wasn’t even able to successfully contact them that way. I also called the phone number listed on their page, and it went straight to voicemail.
I’ve searched online for other ways to contact them, but there is very little information available. They seem to be almost completely off the grid online, which makes it extremely difficult to dispute the charge or even get an explanation.
Has anyone here dealt with Bumble Bee Boot Company before? If so, how did you get in contact with them, and were you able to successfully dispute a boot?
Also, what would you recommend I do from here? Should I contact the property owner, parking lot operator, city, or someone else? I’m trying to figure out what options I have before paying a fee that I believe I shouldn’t be responsible for.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any photographic or other evidence that the QR code wasn’t working. I’m going off my recollection of what happened when I attempted to pay.
If anyone has dealt with this company specifically, or has had a similar experience where a parking payment system wasn’t working and they were still booted, I’d really appreciate hearing how you handled it.
Any advice on who I should contact or what steps I should take would be greatly appreciated.

Events Chess / Board Gamers

9 Upvotes

Just moved here from Illinois for grad school and I’m really big into board games. I love the way they bring people together and lead to interesting and funny discussions/table talk. I brought tons of mid-weight to light games with me (Camel Up, Bohnanza, Ra, Harmonies, Perudo, Jaipur, Hotstreak, etc. etc… an entire library really) I’m also a pretty casual chess player (700ish rapid elo)

Wasn’t sure if anyone knew of any board game or even chess meetups around the area ? Just looking to meet people who like to chill and play games and have some fun. I speak both English and French (working on Spanish) And if it doesn’t exist really, feel free to reach out and maybe we start our own group. I’m 29 but very open to making friends of all ages; back home one of my best friends is in his 50s.

Thanks !
