Map of modern-day Acadian communities

[mostlythemarsh]

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.

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?

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?
