That is very cool.

When I attended LSU, I took a course in Cajun history and there was a
visiting professor presiding. *He was from France and was at LSU to
learn "country" French. *Apparently, there are only two places in the
world where original French, not Parisian French, is spoken - the
Cajun country of Louisiana and Nova Scotia. *He was studying the
differences and dialects (apparently there are five - can't remember
them all).

Interesting huh?

That does seem odd, Tom, because French is spoken all over the world
with different dialectics. Like French Guiana and Paraguay in South
America and as you well know, with various blends in SE Asia.

I wondr how much "country french" he was looking for?

Country as in rural areas fudge brain. *:)

Tom, I can barely type and you want me to digest all that?

Most languages have variations of this.
Original speakers of a language are isolated by geography, and as the
language moves on elsewhere, they don't.
Probably in a hundred years they'll be studying the people of
Collinsville to figure out what the word "grits" means.

Yum. Grits with cheddar cheese. Good stuff.

In my opinion? Two come to mind, both I've used, one I own.

Taurus PT911 - I did some target shooting with this one at the Rod and
Gun club a couple of months back. I like it - has a really nice feel
to it and seems to be a good general purpose weapon.

FN Herstal FNP-9: This one I own and I like it a lot. Has a very
nice feel to it and because I have large hands, the ability to swap
out the back stop was handy. When I sold my two Glocks, the local
gunsmith recommended this one. It's a good choice for carry purposes
as it fits really nicely into my tuck holster.

Speaking of 9mm pistols, who makes the best commercial hot dog?

Hebrew National quarter pounders. No question. Don't give me any of
that Nathan's crap either.

around Saint Mary's Bay, Nova Scotia.
OK, but the Germans still make the best bread in Europe.

No way. The Italians do.
Speaking of bread, who makes the best 9mm pistol under $1000?

Kimber.

If they hadn't quit making them, I would have said Best's Kosher.
I read that when Sara Lee stopped Best's, Comiskey Park went to Vienna
Beef.
Vienna Beef was always a Chicago hot dog stand favorite, but I don't
recall seeing them packaged at the store. We always went with Best's.
Have to look for them.
I want to try the Hebrew National and Nathans too.
Wife bought some dogs this summer and they were flat terrible.
Told her not to buy any more until I find a suitable replacement for
Best's. So I've been suffering by sticking with brats until then.
Must say it hasn't been very painful.

I didn't play high school basketball, but I remember the coach at the
time had a piece of cardboard neatly taped to the top of the door to his
office. It lowered the "clearance" to 6'. There was a sign on it that
said, "If you can walk through without ducking, you're probably too
short to make this team!"

It was a joke, of course...but most of the players I remember were 6' plus.

Our short boy Tuskie could have been towel boy in the showers.

The coach was a fellow named Sam Bender...and "...Sam Bender left
Hillhouse after compiling a 435-145 record and capturing nine state
trophies and six New England championships in his 25 years."
