And you know this how??? I've never heard you speak French, Jerry.

It is "Laissez les bons temps rouler." Rouler is "to roll". In this case the verb goes with "laissez" - literally "Let the good times to roll." There is no form with "t". It is - je roule, tu (you familiar) roules, il roule, nous roulons, vous (you formal) roulez, ils roulent.

P.S. I was a French major.

Thanks, Deb. Guess I was right the first time.

Dang, that does look like a GOOD time. One day I'm going to get down there.

Be sure to let us know when you are coming, Dave. Whether Mardi Gras (We can get you on a float for one of the MS Gulf Coast parades!) or Running of the Bulls or even over our way for Cruisin' the Coast, I promise good times and even a couple of twisty roads.



Locals spell it "rouler", pronounced "ru-LEY". Technically, I think "roulez" may be more grammatically correct, but Cajun French made the trip through Nova Scotia/Quebec to Louisiana. Quite a journey for any language.

Now, here's a little photo lagniappe for y'all.

Here are some pics from the drive I did today up into the 14,000 peaks of the San Juans. I drove up to Silverton and then took CR 110A north and went over Hurricane Pass, passed Lake Como, over California Pass and then down into Animas Forks and completed the circle back to Silverton.

Lake Como is below -- from almost 13,000 ft elevation









This is an old mining related site -- Bagley Mill in California Gulch.
