For anglers, great time in Louisiana

In sitting and thinking of what I love so much
about living in Louisiana, high on my list is the
distinct season changes we have here. One of my
daughters lived in Hawaii for a few years and although
I enjoyed wearing tee shirt, shorts and flipflops
when visiting there in January, I’d
soon tire of Hawaii’s perpetual summer.
I have friends in New England who live
for summer – all three weeks of it. They’re
encased in ice and snow and sub-zero temperatures
much of the year, and I’d hate
living like that.
Louisiana has it all. Every ten years
or so, we get to see snow falling and on
those rare occasions when it covers the
ground, the whole area briefly takes leave
of its sanity as we romp and play and make
leaf-flecked snowmen. Schools dismiss
and overpasses close as old guys slip-slide
their Fords and Chevys into ditches and power
poles.
