Eauxklaheaxma!!!!!

Where the wind goes sweeping through your brain!

Kevin and I just spent the last week and a half in the OK state helping folks affected by the ice storms there. 10 days after the storm there were still pockets of people without power so we were driving the Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicle all over the northeast corner of the state delivering meals. And let me tell you, I almost didn't come back to New Orleans. I mean, despite the clear advantages that the Crescent City has in the areas of cuisine, music, art, nightlife, theater, weather, natural beauty, and (did I mention) cuisine, I am making plans to relocate to Muskogee as soon as possible. Beautiful roads in Eauxklaheauxma, just beautiful.

The people were very kind in the backwoods areas we went, and defended their territory well. Even going as far as to supposedly "whup" an electrical company worker who had invaded their neighborhood. Ahhh, such loyalty can't be found many places. So, if any of you were planning a visit, just adjust your tickets to Muskogee and I'll show you around a real town.

(yes Mr. Connick Jr., I do now know what it means to miss New Orleans. It's good to be back.)
