§ Peek a BOO, I See You...

So, I'm driving home after my walk along the Oso Bay Wetlands trail system, not really paying much attention to anything but traffic. I had in mind to make sure I stopped at the neighborhood grocery store for Isaiah's bag of food and a couple of deli salads for our lunch later. When, all of a sudden, smack dab in front of me to the side of Holly Road, a gigantic skeleton was peeking over the wooden fence! Naturally I slowed down - pulled into the what Bud and I call the 'suicide lane' where you can make a left turn in either direction to get onto a side street. I pulled onto a side street and made a U turn to go back and get a photo....

Isn't this cool?!!! It had to be near 12-15 feet high since most fences around here are 8-10 feet up. I love it, I want it, I can't afford it.

GHOSTS

Watching an episode of NCIS New Orleans, Dead Man Calling, it was so convincingly true that I had to do some research to see if the 'ghost' was real! [New Orleans has many ghost tours!!]  The synopsis:  In short, this particular show was about the history of an unsolved murder from 1867 all with a well-known New Orleans' family history...the Anderson family secret.  Well, using the public records, grave stones and burial records, and genealogy sites online, there is no listing of a certain Cornelius LaRue [the ghost].  Still, there happens to be a big "BUT" in this search....there are a lot of Anderson's listed in the state of Louisiana/Orleans Parish records!!  The eerie part of this is...there are many, many names listed with the surname Anderson that has the middle name of....yep....LaRue!!  Spooky.

[that may look like a pipe coming from the skeleton's mouth, but it's actually the car's antenna next to the cart.  And I'm pleased to say the skeleton was in the passenger seat instead of the driver's side!]
