Vilify Prairie des Femmes? Mais Jamais says the Clarion, 1897

"The Clarion's mission upon earth is not to vilify Washington-not more so than it is to vilify Opelousas, or Grand Coteau, or Ville Platte, or Prairie des Femmes, or an other place."

Cajun Spell

 


CAJUN SPELL


Coeur de cèdre

Feuille de pin

Le cri d'Amédé Ardoin

Eye of round

Sans d'oseille

Bayou Noir 

la 'tite jambe caille

Can de Rotel

Burn it down

Make three rips 

Around my town

Les idées dans ma cervelle 

Mêle dans une choquelle

Ca c’est ton Cajun spell

Fuk Haters

Beautify with a helping hand mural on Coreil Street in Ville Platte. I love this mural and I recently noticed it got vandalized.

 

This is why we can't have nice things!

A Weather Question

November 2014

We used to figure out the temperature in Ville Platte out by taking the temperatures in Alexandria, and hour north of town, and Lafayette, an hour south, and finding the number that was in the middle of them. I was entertained to hear them talking about this same system on La Tasse this week:

"The weather says it was 32 in Lafayette, 31 in Elek, and 28 in Ville Platte, now can you explain that? Moi j'connais pas mais des fois...tu peux figurer... Elek c'est dans une bassière, ça fait, ça restes plus froid là bas des fois.  Mais pour figurer...on prends la température à Lafayette et la température à L'Alexandrie et on va dans le mileu tu connais? On est un peu près halfway entre les deux places..."


Temp in VP according to this method? 76.5 F !
