Mumbo Gumbo

I decided to go to Los Angeles this weekend to determine for myself if the people here are more friendly than they are in Bako as that woman claimed in her letter to the paper. From what I have gathered so far, if you drive a very expensive car and appear to have a lot of money, they are indeed friendlier.

All right - I joke. I'm in Los Angeles visiting Flo cuz that's what friends from Bako do. They stay close. I am happy to report that the brilliant Dr. Flo has accepted a postion as Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She's going to Vegas baby! How cool is that? Sure she'll be farther away, now when I go to visit I'll also get to lose a few hundred bucks at the blackjack table.

At the moment Flo and her handsome husband are preparing to make his family gumbo recipe. They're having a real life LA high society party today and I think they're going to let the embarrassing friend from Bakersfield join them for a few minutes.

I have to promise not to pick my teeth and say y'all. I hope I can do it.
