Hey, just wanted to drop a line to some fellow Louisiana peeps! Hi ya'll! I was born in Baton Rouge, and grew up in Catahoula parish (in the second oldest town in the Louisiana Purchase after New Orleans-Harrisonburg) I went to NLU (now ULM) for a year, dropped out and traveled the country. Since 1999 I have lived out here in Santa Cruz California...and love it very much.

Yup, like Cali a lot...ya'll know how repressive the po-po's are in LA and TX? Out here you can just walk around smoking in public. There are a couple of places here in town you can just walk up in and buy herb like it was a candy store or something!

But I miss my mama's gumbo so much! Fortunately, I can whip up a hell of a gumbo myself! And the crawfish.....oh god how I miss a good crawfish boil!
