Mature life choice? Check! I was going to be married at 25. Reasonably, I’d have a few years to sink into my new, wifely role before the child bearing days pressed in. Kid one at 29, kid two at  32… perfect! I’m young enough to have peppy mom energy but old enough to avoid mom-out-of-college syndrome. By the time the children are both out of the nest, I’m 50. I have plenty of creative energy but a respectable amount of wisdom and life experience. It’s so refreshing to know, at age 24, exactly how life will unfold. What’s equally invigorating, but

The United Houma Nation (UHN) is a state recognized tribe of approximately 17,000 tribal citizens residing within a six-parish (county) service area encompassing 4,570 square miles. The six parishes, Terrebonne, Lafourche, Jefferson, St. Mary, St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes are located along the southeastern coast of Louisiana. Within this area, distinct tribal communities are situated among the interwoven bayous and canals where Houmas traditionally earned a living. Although by land and road these communities are distant, they were historically very close by water. However, boat travel is no longer a viable option due to the effects of coastal erosion, which has left these waterways either nonexistent or impassable and often treacherous. The Houma Tribe has not yet been Federally recognized, awaiting a response for over 20 years from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior. This is our story. We have had many battles over the year

It can now be reported that Shannon Dewayne Cox has been identified as the River Market's Toe Suck Fairy. Mounted Patrolman Cox's latest indiscretion came to light a couple of weeks ago after three female patrons complained to two city officials about his obsession with their feet. One of them purportedly described Cox as, "that creepy cop with the foot fetish!" The statements obtained included, "Ofc. Cox was confirmed to be 'hanging out while on-duty' in front of Willy D's bar, again. And all three (3) of these females were indeed wearing, 'open-toed footwear.'"

Apparently, this wasn't the first time they had to endure the "foot inspection" while trying to use a public sidewalk that just happened to be in front of Willy D's bar. Hmm, why would a Little Rock police officer be posted
