LOL Im actuall from about 60 miles west of New Orleans. It was literally one of the only port towns left after both hurricanes. and the sad part that it actually snowed there for christmas while i was gone. first time that happened in over 30 years.

Hahaha, that's great. Some of those sound exactly like my grandpa, along with every other person in my family... heh. Every single one of my relatives lives in either Pineville or Baton Rouge (where I was born). Good times...good times.
