Cajuns Don't Give Up,



The people of Lake Arthur, in Southwest Louisiana,  this time a month ago were stacking sandbags to hold back the rising waters from the most rain seen in the area for close to 50 years..
.







It will take a while before they are done. You'll hear the echos of the hammers
 from across the lake for some time.

 But I have no doubt that within the year... 

You will be able to drive down this same road and only tell there had been "a rising" by the flood level marks on the trees.


That's because they are Cajuns and Cajuns don't give up...

That's just the way it is...
