NEW ORLEANS — There are two things New Orleanians like most — enjoying life here, and complaining about life here.

At Thanksgiving time, let’s count some of our blessings.

The governor’s race is over — and so is the constant barrage of attack ads.

The Saints are 9-and-2, and LSU is 11-and-0. Who dat! And “Geaux Tigers.”

We got through hurricane season in one piece. Whew!

Crime is always a concern, but the city’s murder rate continues to fall below last year’s historic low.

Let’s count our personal blessings as well, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
