Torrid Affair
Edwin Edwards told Bill Clinton that he should have responded to the whole Jennifer Flowers affair scandal when she declared she and Bill had had a torrid affair for twelve years that “that’s a lie in and of itself because no affair is ‘torrid’ after 12 years.” Ha, where was Edwards when the levees broke? We could have used humor along with competence.
Boating on the Tangipahoa I marvelled at the graceful beauty of the Great Blue Heron and Great Whites that live on the banks of Louisiana waterways. Such gorgeous creatures. I found a petrified grasshopper that is almost model like and can’t wait to show it to H when he gets back from Toronto. We also saw turtles and snakes and every sunset we took a chilled bottle of Rose and motored over to stalk the alligator that came out to feed in Dead Lake. I swam a lot but didn’t get much fishing done but I helped set tile in the addition. Back breaking work but at least I understand how it is done now.
Arlene swam a lot too, going all the way to the middle of the river, to get to B when the thunder was cracking – seeking that male voice to protect her.
