Galveston addendum

The Deep South is actually another planet.

Galveston should not get all the eccentricity publicity.

So, meander on over to Houma, Louisiana here a sec.

A south Louisiana NAACP branch is considering seeking a sanction against a white judge who appeared at a Halloween party in black face [with an afro wig] and wearing a prison jumpsuit and shackles around his wrists and ankles.

...[Judge Timothy C.] Ellender has drawn criticism in the past for keeping a shotgun in his courtroom and giving out unusual sentences.

He sentenced a man convicted of accidentally killing his best friend to regularly place flowers at the victim's gravesite. He sentenced a youth with chronic speeding violations to clean up trash from a bayou using the judge's pirogue, a flat-bottom boat similar to a canoe.

And I do love cajun cookin'.
