The Lake Verret map is coming along nicely.  We are planning a release date of late February, early March 2009.  I hope you check out "Keeping up with Rob (and friends) making this map."  That section is a lot of fun.  Not just the map, we have several more fun surprises for our friends in and around Pierre Part!

A sneak peak at our new map of Lake Verret, Lake Palourde, Belle River, and surrounding waterways!
Keep in mind we are less than 30% done with the map.
Technical stuff:  these are "pdf" files and will require Adobe to open and view.
This is a recreational boaters map of the area.

"There's no law, but River Rat Rob recommends you consider the following when you take to the water..."

 

My big time detective brother, Jay, ran for Constable twice near my hometown of Quitman, MS.  Both times he narrowly lost.
He had two famous quotes from the experience:  He'd rather lose as a Republican than to win as a Democrat was the first. 
The second was "Never underestimate the power of stupid voters."  True, very true.  Having said that, check out:

How Obama Won (on YouTube) and be sure and visit www.HowObamaGotElected.com  (slightly frightening)

 

Sky Rat Rob flies again.  Aerial photos of your home, office, camp, land, etc.
Want to give a Christmas gift that is unique an very different?  An aerial photo will do it!
