Well, Quix, just posting something a bit off-topic here... :-)

You were saying — “ I’ll add the 2nd half later or tomorrow, Lord willing and the Creek Indians don’t rise up.”

Ummm..., I’m right next door to the Creek Indian Nation..., and I haven’t seen any signs of uprising... LOL... I think you’re safe...

Are you in Oklahoma now?

No. West of you.

I learned of the real meaning of that phrase in TaiChung in Taiwan at a missionary retreat.

There was a 70 plus year old missionary widow there who’d had 10 kids on the mission field . . . all of whom were doing fine as adults. And I said that phrase one day and she informed me of what its true origin was.

And all those years prior, I’d assumed it was about a flood swollen creek of water.

LOL.

My Wife’s family (mother’s side) have Creek blood.

The *creek* in Wolfcreek. is a reference to the tribe.

(I kind of snatched my Wife’s screen name when she quit spending much time online.) and (cause my middle name means Wolf)

Well the Creeks may be calm but the Lokota are restless.
