    Dolphins and a Contest!

In the series, Flipper exhibited high intelligence and an extraordinary understanding of human motives, behavior, and vocabulary. This trained dolphin’s abilities, we now know, reflected the…

  • Coastal Restoration: Beating a Dead Horse?

    In the spring of 2010, my email box was inundated with writers looking for the softer side of the story of the Deepwater Horizon explosion and following oil spill disaster. These seekers of a different angle flocked to my bayou to interview my shrimping neighbors. As a wetland advocate, I wondered how I could use this man-made disaster as a platform to further the cause of education and awareness.

    It became clear to me early on that most of the journalists who arrived at my door really had no clue about our culture and way of life.

    What these well-meaning journalists needed first was a foundational perspective from the standpoint of a population of coastal communities who were suffering yet one more blow to their way of life. As a woman who lives, works, and fishes here, I could give them that perspective, which was simply this:

  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.

    Sometimes that boys imagination worries me. LOL!! He will either be a politician or a lawyer some day.

    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.
