Not sure where it is now, but Campus Federal Credit Union was using Shermans desk as their board table in the early 90's. It had been sitting in a warehouse when they built on S. Quad.

re: Mass tourism protests in Europe

We are fairly well traveled 30+ countries and really dont see much of this. They tend to not like cruise ships, I dont blame them, looks like a heard of cattle.

Its a fine line between tourist and traveler. Americans and orientals seem to like the 32 cities in 13 days trips, where you see and meet no one.

We just spent 2 weeks between Dubrovnik and Split- about 150 miles. Try to really see a small area, learn some of the language (and try to use it!) meet and get to know people. We have been invited into peoples homes, meals with families, ...

Most places we have been seem to enjoy the personal interaction, they don't care for the camera clickers - those there to just get a picture and move on.

re: Towable camper owners.... Not the OT millionaire glampers

Posted by geauxskeet on 6/17/25 at 7:21 am to NatalbanyTigerFan

We have owned a popup, motor home and pull camper. Motornhome was for ball tournaments, does not work well for camping. We never used any enough to be worth the expense, though it was fun times.

Make the commitment to be a camper for vacations and long weekends and then worth it. Or buy a cheaper popup, all we did was sleep in them anyway.

I disagree.

If you have ever been to West Africa, you would agree. The poorest blacks here generally live better than the richest there, at least in the countries I have been to, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Ghana.

It was the Croats in bed with the Nazis, not the Serbs.

Check your history, the Zbor was anti-semitic and pro Nazi. Milan Nedic, the Serbian prime minister, was loyal to and supported the Nazis til the end of the war

re: Is creole and Cajun the same thing?

Posted by geauxskeet on 1/11/25 at 4:16 pm to LSUtigerME

Creole has nothing to do with african heritage. A creole can have african (or indian) heritage but doesnt have to. It is the descendants of french and spanish settlers born in the new lands (mostly Louisiana and gulf areas) and predates the acadians.
