Thanks for your advice... you seem to know your stuff concerning bloodlines and I'm still learning (obviously.) LOL

I'm not a Cajun... the Cajun comes from my love of the Cajun culture (and my 2nd fave team, LSU .) The Gator part comes from the best college team there is... the FLORIDA GATORS!

OHhhhh..and I was just starting to get to like you until you said you were a Gator fan (LOL)..I'm a massive LSU fan..bleed purple and gold...that's cool that you appreciate the Cajun culture so much...I miss it up here in Kentucky.

..nothing compares to Louisiana's culture IMO, especially south Louisiana...the food, the people, the jubilation...it is truly unlike any other...never a dull moment

I bleed orange and blue, but root for LSU whenever they're not playing the Gators... our blood is awfully colorful, isn't it?

Have you been back to New Orleans since Katrina? I can't even imagine the devastation all across the Louisiana/Mississippi coast line.

Yes I have and it brings tears to your eyes...it is actually scary...I was kind of scared and upset at the same time for some reason...I love that city more than any other and it is crazy to see what most of it looks like now...the wide-spread damage is truly unlife-like....Total devastation for MILES..and I mean 10s of miles...very depressing....will take 20 years to get it back to par..

I was there over the holidays and actually met some friends down there for a few nights around New Years and watched the Peach Bowl with LSU in a bar in the French Quarter....New Year's Eve was also depressing down there...I've been to many in my life on Bourbon Street and it is usuallu elbow room on the whole street...millions of people it seems like...this past New Year's, Bourbon Street was like any other street in the world....sad stuff

Ironically enough, I've never been to New Orleans. I was hoping to go last year and then... well, we know what happened. I've read a few books on the geography of New Orleans and I was always concerned with what might happen if it ever was hit by a major storm. I hope that eventually things get back to normal there, but the city is always going to be in danger because of the weak levy system.
