If this news station were truly "local first" they'd know we ignore celebrities here, not breathlessly cover every second of their existence in Orleans Parish

This may help mancub, though, because his momma has kinfolk with a whole ass town in Acadiana named for them and a family tree that resembles shrubbery.

That side was fairly well researched by another cousin who didn't want to get a real job after college. That's how we found out there was Scots heritage as well as English and Irish. We got kicked out of all 3 at one point or another.

The railroad needed an easier way to get supplies from one side of the river to the other and found a bunch of roustabouts (my kin) with just the right motivation. None of them were coonass, though, just derelicts, drunks, and neerdowells from the Isles.

Not many French speakers in Tangy back in the day, mine were all boozers from the UK and thereabouts. Grandcousin tells a story about how 17 of my ancestors were told there was a barrel of shine on the other side of the Tangipahoa River they could have as long as they built a bridge to get to it.

Kind of wish I could see colors better because I think these are more stunning than I can tell. I'll take your word for it.

Let's see, Ali beat Frazier and that's all I can think of.

Oh yeah, there was that dust up in some French territory or something.

Huge VN population here since the mid-70s (gee I wonder why?) so finding one is easy level. Don't have to go far.

The sandwiches are incredible, but the fries are proof that the universe wants us to eat more carbs. Anything over the regular cheese fries can be considered a meal in itself. Everything made while you wait, super fresh, super yummy.

Exactly. That driver knew how to get you there and if you knew better you could have done it yourself. Don't second guess professionals.

Her: "You gonna report this driver?"

Me: "I've driven in central and south America where it's a contact sport and we haven't bumped anyone else yet."

Her: "We've blown through half a dozen stop signs and red lights!"

Me: "And all 4 wheels stayed on the ground, so it's fine. We're fine."

Milo and Rollins both wear glasses, I'm cool with that. It's more the pumpkin spice thing.
