    An Original Bayou Woman

    It was 1979, and I was working as a dispatcher for ODECO. She answered the old black phone in her native tongue, her words lost on me. I had called her house to ask if her son, the crew boat captain, happened to be home. Hoping she could understand me, I continued in English, “He has to go on a run right now.” His boat was next up to take a trip out to the Gulf to deliver emergency equipment, and as night dispatcher, it was my job to find him. She understood me well enough to relate to me in broken English where she thought he might have been.

  • Swamp People Odds and Ends

    Well, it’s that time again. The final episode of Swamp People aired last Thursday night, with R.J. and Troy battling it out for the “King of the Swamp” bragging rights. Although there was never a big to do made over which one actually holds the title, the show would have us believe that both men filled their 500 alligator tag quotas.

  1. Little Bit loves to read and to be read to!! He is in a slump this week though. All of his brothers are in band camps and he is stuck at home until school starts Monday. But, he has Tigger, his little chichacha, two crazy kitty cats and a big, yellow, lab to romp with.

    1. No, Cammy, we didn’t. But your grandson was right about how he got in the boat. He jumped in from the dock and the momentum caused the boat to push away from the dock, but I’m not sure why he wouldn’t jump in. He loves the water. There probably had been a gator lurking nearby.
