Yes, I'm the official FG weather lady...
Interesting story on the horse Lecomte on the FG site, antebellum days, racing at the Metarie race track (now the Metairie cemetery, still layed out in the oval of the race track) Natchez, Mobile, 4 mile races, I enjoyed it. Magnolia Plantation is still in existence as a National Register of Historic Places in Nachitoches (pronounced nak-a -tish) LA. I've been by it before
