    Gustav

    I am in Alexandria now but will be heading home early tomorrow morning. They just opened up our parish (Lafourche) at 4 this afternoon. Friends and neighbors back home report lots of downed trees and powerlines. Lots of roof damage, patios and porch damage, but homes are generally in good...

    Gustav

    Jogee covered it pretty well. We also fill up our propane tanks so we can cook on the BBQ or on an outdoor burner if electricity stays out a while. Many people here stay for a Cat 1 or 2, Cat 3 and above and its time to load the vehicle. Worst thing is the storm surge. Kinda of ironic...

    Gustav

    We are almost right in the path in the Terrebonne-Lafourche area. We fared fairly well for Katrina and Rita, praying for the best now but preparing for the worst. Waiting and not knowing is the hardest part.

    Moved Daughter Off to College Today

    Our son leaves this weekend for his final semester at ULL. I remember his first semester away, we would call every few days to see how things were going. It does get easier, but every time he leaves, the house seems a little larger for a couple of days. Sounds like ya'll did a good job of...

    Any Cajuns around?-Vacation ideas in La. to Fl.

    If you have time to get off the interstate and travel along the Mississippi River, there are some really nice plantation homes. Oak Alley in Vacherie is probably the most famous, but there many more. In New Orleans, the Aquarium of the Americas would be a good family outing. There is also...

    Trivial Question to ya'll Southerners

    I think we only had one night in the twenties since the beginning of the year. Seems we are getting cool fronts every Thursday or Friday lately, and have been having great weekends with highs in the 70's and lows in the 50's. We have been missing most of the rain in my neck of the woods, but...

    What's Your Favorite Country/Western Movie?

    Almost any Jimmy Stewart or John Wayne western. Also like some of the newer movies with Tom Selleck.

    Turtles

    I remember as a kid, we would put traps out and use catfood for bait. We would pop a couple of slits in the can and tie it in the trap. We would mostly keep just the snappers. They were a lot easier to clean. We would also catch a lot of snapping turtles when we would clean out ditches in...

    How long for sibling visits?

    I'm the oldest of seven, have three brother and three sisters. They all live within 10 miles from my parents. I live the farthest (about 25 miles). During the spring and summer, probably see most of the family two to three times a month. I guess short visits keep everyone on good terms. No...

    We got rain.....

    Most sugarcane farmers like those little critters in their fields, because they feed on other insect pests. It's another story in pastures, especially those used for hay. Their mounds can get pretty tall and can rough the bush hog up pretty good.

    its to wet

    Had about 1.5 inches here this morning and most of that fell in about two hours. Looks like we are in a winter pattern where you get a couple of days of dry weather and then a day of soaking rain. We could probably use a good week of drying out.

    Allergies anyone?

    I am in the shell fish allergy club also. Worst part is that here in south La., crabs, crawfish, or shrimp are almost a daily meal staple. I also was able to eat shellfish when I was younger. Mostly I get red watery eyes, but sometimes shrimp, especially boiled, will give me that suffocating...

    Cast Netting Shrimp

    I haven't thrown a cast net in years, but my inlaws are from Pointe-aux-chene and have always caught shrimp off the highway with a cast net. I don't know if she still could, but my wife used to throw a pretty mean castnet. They have been doing pretty good with the crabs down there. They...

    Favorite place?

    That would have to be sitting under cypress trees late in the day, watching our cattle graze. Also, clipping our pastures in the summer, enjoying the smell of fresh cut grass.

    What's the temp in your area?

    It's about 43 at 10:30 p.m. That's plenty cold for us thin-blooded cajuns. Looks like a few Mardi Gras parades were cancelled tonight because of rain.

    Windows Vista

    Be prepared to have to update a lot of your software. Also, you may not be able to use older printers, scanners, etc. I run XP but have been doing some work on a family members new computer. We find Vista to be slower than XP. I plan on avoiding Vista for as long as I can. However, I guess...
