“...If California continues downhill. I may be moving to Louisiana....”
Hot, humid, sub-tropical climate. Love bugs, fire ants, cottonmouths, rattlesnakes, copperheads, mosquitos, mud daubers....did I mention mosquitos? Yeah, mosquitos that can stand flat-footed and kiss a turkey. Then, there’s some wild, vicious critters in those bayous over there that can swallow a man whole. Other than that, the food and cuisine is like none other on earth. Good Cajun folks that love to party and great music to dance to.
Honestly at this point I am setting my sights on other countries. (No joke. As I have already lived abroad.)
But I’d love to at least visit Louisiana some day.
Holy moley you’re singing my tune! If I could handle half-foot long scorpions over in Saudi Arabia and two yearling lions in a cage in Ohio, Cajun country sounds like the place for me :-) That is, if I could con my wife into moving there ;-)
Don’t forget the Hurricanes.
“Hot, humid, sub-tropical climate. Love bugs, fire ants, cottonmouths, rattlesnakes, copperheads, mosquitos, mud daubers..”
Much overstated. Too hot about three months out of the year, love bugs only in South Louisiana and South Texas, etc., mosquitoes handled nicely by dragonflies this summer. I did kill a huge, ugly rattlesnake about a hundred feet from my back porch. I think it was tracking my dog or cat. This is hardly Australia.
You forgot to mention chiggers, kudzu, poison oak, poison sumac, poison ivy, dog ticks, deer ticks, seed ticks, alligators, and liberals.
