The wetlands are more what you think of when you envision Louisiana: a hot, fetid network of dark, ancient swamps and bayous, brimming with strange and dangerous fauna.

"Well," he sighed, "exactly how much do you have?"
I meekly answered, "I have exactly $ 2. 15, sir."
With that, he yelled over his shoulder to a coworker, "Hey, Charlie, get the pigeon ready.
