I don't remember the name of this shot, only that it was a 1-2 punch and actually pretty good.

Crystal ordered a round for us all as the bar was closing. Good way to end the night.

This is the most awesome person I know, my little sister.

Yes, she is taller than me but "taller" is a relative term among the females of our family - I am, after all, only 4'10" and she, in all of her height, only reaches about 5'2" (usually 5'3" because she's always wearing heels!)

What you have to understand is that Louisiana is, unlike the majority of states, actually like two separate states.

If you tell someone from down here in S Louisiana you are "from up North", their next question to you is going to be, "Oh, like Shreveport?" (which is the northernmost city in Louisiana.

Southern LA is filled, mostly, with coonasses (i.e. Cajuns) while northern Louisiana has our generous pool of rednecks.

The above sign was taken in a bar in W. Monroe, very much North Louisiana.

(That's not to say you won't see Confederate-everything down here as well - you certainly do - but just to explain the vast differences between N and S Louisiana; which is a unique aspect - among many - of the Pelican State.)
