Danny,

I was thinking bad thoughts about you because I thought you had deleted this whole section of this thread. Now I realise you only exercised "editorial discretion" and moved it to a NEW thread. Pleeaase forgive me. {do you know how glad I am I didn't SAY anything??}

Keep up the good work!!


PS: I always supected that the reason they called me gadeterbob was that my alligator mouth can overload my hummingbird a-- errr excretory tract at any time.

Sorry for not posting something in the other thread. I had no problem at all with the discussion, it just didn't seem to go along with the quotes thread. Carry on with the cajun discussions.

Just an update: Mardi Gras is Tuesday and things are beginning to get a little crazy around here. I got stuck at an intersection for an hour today because they were moving floats into position for tonight's parades. It's been a little different though this year because they have had to reschedule 8 parades due to bad weather.

I just have to remember what I was told whne I first moved here: if you don't like the weather wait an hour and it'll change...

Yeah, how well I remember the New Orleans weather. They have only two seasons there..hot and wet or cold and wet. We lived near the levy in Belle Chasse. Believe it or not, that's the highest ground around.

After my dad died I used to spend summers at my aunt's house in Goodhope on the river road. It was walking distance from Norco, where I went to see movies once a week. No theater in Goodhope. In fact, no NOTHIN' in Goodhope.

In those days [circa 1945-1950 or thereabouts] you could actually swim in Lake Ponchartrain. Now I hear it's so polluted that it'll melt the numbers off a pool ball.

It's not that bad but I ain't going in it.
