Re #71: fascinating post!
As a Texan...(not native, but got here as fast as I could) and ex-military who had the opportunity to live in more than a few places around the south with a business that has taken me around the country what the post of #71 has stated is true to the best of my knowledge. Louisiana folks are wonderful, but NO folks are very different from cajun folks....north of the Red River is as different in many ways as day and night...Baptists north and Catholics south....an incredibly interesting state...that has sent a bunch of their natives over here for a "spell".
We have a a young couple and their children that we have kind of taken under our wing....at the end of the day I really need to Thank them..they are good kids and they have awaken a part of me that I knew existed...but had been at flight idle for most of my life...
