There is a monument here to recognize the engineering skills of the 17th century Acadians who drained the salt marshes to create arable fields. Dykes and aboiteaux constructed at the time are still in use today. There were lovely long pressure treated beams on these posts. They went missing in short order. What remains is perhaps now a monument to the engineering skills of the 21st century locals.

Review: The Seamstress of Acadie
Synopsis: As 1754 is drawing to a close, tensions between the French and the British on Canada’s Acadian shore are reaching a fever pitch. Seamstress Sylvie Galant and her family–French-speaking Acadians wishing to remain neutral–are caught in the middle, their land positioned between two forts flying rival flags. Amid preparations for the celebration of Noël, the talk is of unrest, coming war,…

Episode 438 – Poppycock, the AI Sent Me to Scotland instead of Switzerland This week, Todd and I have ditched the Zoom call to do this in person. We are back in the studio together! Todd has various voice activated devices in his home. What happens when they disagree? (4:40) From the clapper to Lexa, how far have we come?
Payola is the illegal practice of paying a commercial radio station to play a song without the station disclosing the payment. It was a means to sneak a band onto a radio station that might not otherwise play them. Now, with stations owned by large corporations, the only music played is ones controlled by other corporations that are in league with each other. Maybe it isn’t payola, but it sure feels like it. (17:42)
We miss the Rage Rage Podcast so we, offer you, a new topic to bring back to your show. (25:56) Apparently Toblerone is not Swiss enough? We explain what that means. (38:16) And we Albuquerque it into a whole talk on candies and candy bars and… seafood?

Citroën Acadiane, 1978. Quite late in the Dyane's model life a van version was derived from it, replacing the 2CV Fourgonnette. It remained in production until 1987, 4 years after the Dyane itself was discontinued.
