    I wasn't trying to be a smart ass.... I just figured that you'd want to correct it.

    Appreciate it, sometimes I can't see the forest thru the trees.
    Is that bus really hanging off the building?

    I'm just about to take a drive down to New Orleans from Toronto, make a few stops along the way, Mammoth Cave, Nashville, Memphis, then over to Fla and back north through Savanna, Charleston etc. Never seen New Orleans before, very much looking forward to the trip. Don't tell me so much about the bad drivers!
    Question authority!

    Hey for me personally, I am always open for "constructive" criticism, for example, hey Bill your zippers down, O jeeezzz! thanks Bud.

    You should try driving thru St. Louis just once - even our "professional" drivers are...challenged.

    Nice pic toocool. Looks like you're right off S. Claiborne? Coolcajun, how's Braithwaite looking? I live right across the river in Belle Chasse, but haven't been over there since Isaac. I know they got smashed...many people rebuilding?

    Looks pretty bad! From the lock at the parish line down to the levee at Phoenix it is destroyed.

    Drivers are fine in NO. People are friendly but suspicious. Anyone north of South Carolina is considered a Yankee, yep they still use that word.
    Food is passable, most of it is fried. You haven't ate until you have a Soft Shell Crab Po Boy. Gotta go through Bourbon Street, try not to breath through your nose or go on a rainy day.
    "If" you like to fish,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it's about as close to heaven as you'll get. Check out RODNREELdotcom reports for the latest info.
    Don't expect to understand what a cajun says. That takes a lot of listening and many, many extended trips. Most cajuns will give you the shirt off their back, it just might not theirs theirs.
    Bring Camo and you'll fit right in.

    If you can't fix it with JB Weld, Duct Tape, and Ty Wire it has to be replaced.
    No good deed goes unpunished.
    If you want to take off friday to go fishing then make sure you train your helper right.

    Cool pic. I should come down and see that place agin sometime. I was there with the national guard after Katrina. 40 days in NO and 40 nights in Bell Chase. Hated it. Spent 25 days clearing Jackson barracks before they could open the lower 9th. Swore I'd never return.

    desert guy,

    you've been eating at the wrong places!
    next time try Mother's, Rocky & Carlo's, Port of Call,
    & some off the beaten path places that locals frequent.

    I didn't know many Cajuns when I lived in New Orleans...
    but lots of Creoles. Cajuns are where I live now!
    when you get around Delcambre & Erath..you almost need
    someone to interpet what they are saying. or at least I do,
    cause I'm still a 'transplant' after being here almost 20 years.
    the names...Istre is pronounced East, and Hollier..try O-yea.
    I still get teased about not being able to find a place called
    Swallow's..Soileau's...go figure!

    too cool for school..gonna get wild with Mardi Gras comming soon.
    have the parades started yet? my 24 year old niece wants to go this year.
    sure was simpler when I lived there and had access to clean bathrooms,
    the MG porta potties are not an experience I'd like to repeat.
    between Mardi Gras & superbowl...N.O. is going to be fun to party
    in but a pita to work in!

    be safe & have fun.

    I'll catch a few parades on Mardi Gras but I'm watching the super bowl on my 65 inch screen tv fosure.
