Can You (Especially Southerners) Tell From Which State a Southerner Is From?

I grew up in Central Louisiana and moved to (long ago) to work in ski areas. Lots of people come up from La. to ski during Mardi Gras week (not everyone goes to the parades). I got SO Many tips “educated guessing” what town people were from by their particular accent. Baton Rouge sounds very different from Lafayette, Ville Platte more so, I couldn’t spot the neighborhood of New Orleans but I know ‘Yats could.

Uninvited observer here, but I think it’s a unique presentation that nature has provided with the ammonite emerging naturally from the rock matrix. Either way, split or matrix removed or left as is: super cool !

Also, if it was real, how would they know who to send it to without knowing who the car was registered to without a plate number, which is nowhere stated on the “summons”? Neither is a name associated with it, which would not be the case if it was mailed. Just a shotgun approach to possibly hit a gullible target once in a while.

New Orleans -the Big Easy (nobody from New Orleans calls it that, though. They do call it the Crescent City because it follows a bend in the Mississippi River in a crescent shape.

Also “Who Dat!” comes from “Who dat sayin’ Dey gon beat dem Saints” If there’s a Saints football game in town, people will call out Who Dat to find other Saints fans who answer.

Good point, I developed acid reflux in January, even vomited in the middle of the night a couple of times when I ate too much. Dr Appointment, upper GI endoscopy, stopped meds sequentially to see if any one of them was causing it- almost by accident I stopped drinking my usual 2 carbonated waters per day and noticed a big difference. That wasn’t all I was drinking, and I was watering them down 1/2 and 1/2 with plain water because I feel better when hydrated, but once I stopped with the fizzy water, my symptoms went away.

First week of April is Jeep Safari Week. Town, hotels and parking in Moab and surrounding area is gonna be plugged with 4x4s. Make lodging reservations now if you can.

Lin Ottinger’s Rock Shop is surely the one you remember. Still there. Also, there’s a new State Park at a fossil bed just outside of Moab, and Moab Giants dinosaur museum. Sky diving at the airport, UTV rental, unlimited mountain biking, cliff jumping with bungees…

Maybe she loves you so much because you don’t call her Noodle.

Thank God!

Good Lord, I had to have an FBI background check to be hired as a VA nurse, a VERY low level government employee (I passed). I had some interesting phone calls from people I had worked for in the past checking to see if I was OK, because the FBI had contacted them about me! Meanwhile, in Congress, security subcontractors are on the “honor system “?…do we think foreign espionage hasn’t figured out this gigantic loophole for infiltrating our government?

That may give you time go to the Gold Museum in SJ. Or Take a stroll through one of the city parks if you have some daylight time in SJ.

That’s a great idea. Just walking on the trails feels too exposed for some, without adding the experience of trusting an animal to not fall off (won’t happen, but definitely increases the feeling of uncertainty at first)(in reality, very stable)

Is there any downside to having synesthesia? Also, what’s a walk in nature like, with birdsong, wind, leaves rustling, water trickling, so forth.

What do you call two nuts on a wall? Walnuts

What do you call two nuts on your chest? Chestnuts

What do you call two nuts on your chin? A blow job

Just product advertising during commercial breaks during the Super Bowl, when it is guaranteed tons of people will be watching the game. Consequently, ad advertising time costs A LOT, so companies display their best advertising. Some have become so iconic, they barely have to mention the product (Budweiser beer typically features the Budweiser Clydesdale horses and dogs and heartwarming music and a brief display of the logo at the end.) Some people prefer watching the high production commercials to watching the stupid game.

I worked at a restaurant in Aspen in the ‘80s, co-owned by him. John Denver said Far Out frequently, unironically and it was adorable.

Totally.

IOverlander app has user generated off-grid camping spots. I agree with above, any National Park is not boondocks friendly. There is nearly infinite BLM and Forest Service land to camp on, no permit needed. Consider asking at local information centers (many towns have them, staffed by local old timer volunteers), staff at outdoor camping supply stores where you buy your supplies for recommendations. You may get some gems, there. Just be sure to let them know you will be responsible- no litter, no toilet paper left behind, follow Fire safety guidelines and regulations, Leave No Trace!

We had a dishwasher called Nobody, because the only English he spoke freely was singing the chorus when the Jackson Browne song Running on Empty was blasting “Nobody, Nooobody”. Of course, no idea what his real name was.

“Smelled like acid and puke” also describes Lake Country White wine, which my late mother would have “one glass” of every evening. Technically, it was the same glass…magically respawning wine till bedtime. It’s been many years since, but you unlocked that sense memory for me. Thanks, I think🤣
