I was born in Cajun Country. I am looking right now for the map that showed me this. VOILA! Here it is. Cajun Country is highlighted in gold. Yes, I was solidly born in Cajun Country.
They say Cajun Country is highlighted in gold. I want to write about other maps that I saw.
No! No! No!
I see problems with the red in this map ⬇️. We need a debate. The map in gold above is the first map that I pulled up. I would like to open a thread on Twitter or somewhere to open the dialogue in order to confirm definitions. Acadiana and Cajun Country may have inherently different basic definitions. Did “foreigners” align the map in red?
NOTE: I have stuff to say about the picture posted below ⬇️, and will write more after the game. UPDATE: I am studying the truth of whether the phrase “the pen is mightier than the sword” is a proven fact. With all of the current deaths (including many children) in Iran caused by U.S. strikes, I wonder if the old saying about the pen is accurate.
GAZETTE (March 10, 2026) — I will explain (№1) why I posted this picture, and (№2) the results of my study of whether or not the pen is mightier than the sword. For now, I have to remember why people say that the pen is so powerful. I will get back to you. I am simultaneously watching CNN NEWS which is reporting on some BREAKING NEWS.
Watching Popeye recently I noticed:
Meanwhile, I was recently tickled to see that Popeye the Sailor Man cartoons were integrated.
I used some of my college Psych 101 studies for my book, I HAVE A DREAM! https://a.co/d/0wPSoO5 >>You may also ask yourself if any of the pages in my book reveal answers to the collapsing world around us. Is our world sliding into hell in a hand basket… and with whom? Who is this Antichrist?
Again, I just had to mention that I recently saw in a Popeye cartoon on TV that the show had a diverse cast. See a minority in the picture in the bottom row, left. Back in those early years, there usually was no effort made to throw a minority in the mix.
Then, I wanted to say that one of my favorite foods is soft shell crab. Delicious!
This ⬇️ is another soft shell crab platter that I bought. Yummy! It was delicious. You do not know what you missed.
NOTE: My New Year resolution for 2026 is to give up sugar. I have diabetes anyway, and have to avoid sugar per doctor’s orders. Then, I explain my Native American Indian name at the bottom; last article.
I’m A Dylan Fan
Ferdie Delery (Dec. 30, 2025) — Bob Dylan was married to one of my cousins (a step cousin). I was reminded of this when I saw last year’s Dylan movie, A Complete Unknown. I am now sadly reading more and more that Bob Dylan is not a nice guy. Since his music is so great, l have always thought that he was fabulous. No! No! No! After seeing the movie, I am learning that he is terrible to people, rude and arrogant. Aww, man! I never knew.
I always thought Dylan was for the little man.A Complete Unknown… like a rolling stone.
Me and Music
I initially obtained my interest in trumpet and my desire to “delve into music” from my grandfather Sidney Cates, Jr. He was the leader of the Moonlight Serenaders band in New Orleans which sometimes practiced in his living room. At 5 yrs old, I tended sometimes to hide behind the sofa while he and the band practiced. I fell in love with the sound of the trumpets. My dad bought me a trumpet when I was 7. I subsequently played in my grammar school, high school and college bands — some stage bands too.
The “Moonlight Serenaders” in New Orleans refers to historical jazz/swing bands in New Orleans, including Sidney Cates’ Moonlight Serenaders in the 1940s and ’50s..
Before I explain my Indian name, I wanted to express how I feel in these days. I wonder if I am in the minority of people who feel like this guy ⬇️. This is true.
However, when I venture out…
I do not talk very much. If I say 2 words in 1 day, that is plenty. One day, when I was very young, my dad told me to talk more and learn how to interact with people. He said, “You need to start talking and saying stuff.” Since I always obeyed my father, I started talking around the clock, 24-7. About 4 or 5 days later, my dad told me to do everyone a favor and stop talking. “Son, I need you to sit in a corner and learn how to shut up.” Ever since then, if I say 2 words in one day, that is plenty. So, I learned how to sit down and enjoy writing in order to release the pressure of the words in my heart. In fact, I minored in journalism in college.
My Indian Name ⬇️ at the bottom
Ferdie Delery (October 26, 2023) — I post a quickie video in the interim about a grocery basket rear-end booty clobber (see video below and the article) with an even clearer explanation coming soon. I will notify y’all with a link once the full explanation is published here. Thank you!
and…
Gazette (2023) — I have to write an explanation about my video here in which I tell about the grocery-line argument between me and a knucklehead who called security on me. My video explanation here does not do total justice. It needs more words which I will link here once I write a deeper explanation.
Video: In line at the grocery store.
While in line at the grocery, I accidentally hit a woman in her rear-end with my grocery basket. She looked at me with a stupid look, and we had words. She said, “I thought people in New Orleans were supposed to be so nice.” Then, words got more heated between us.
I perpetrated a rear-end accident. Then…
I want to mention that my family has four birthdays in December. We call them the December babies. Usually someone organizes a night in which we all meet to celebrate.
Now, back to my Indian name:
MyIndian name isSitting Wolf. I may have a tad bit of Indian blood in my roots, but I also have some French-Cajun ancestors who fought with Sitting Bull at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. As friends of Sitting Bull and the Sioux, they wore cuts from their Mardi Gras Indian costumes and blended in with the Native Indians. My Cajun ancestors were angry about how the Yankees had been carpetbagging in Louisiana after the Civil War. Similarly, the name Sitting Wolf was passed down to me likewise to what I explained in my article at DeleryGazette.com entitled King Farouk III. https://delerygazette.org/2020/11/02/king-farouk-iii/
About my ascendency to the throne of the ancient King Farouk Dynasty which I explain in the article, I succeeded Fuad II who was the ninth mystical ruler of the ancient Muhammad Ali Dynasty, and I am in the lineage of the penultimate King of Mount Zion per the Caribbean Sea.
Sitting Wolf
She (cartoon below) wants to go as Eve to the Halloween party, but...
NOTE: The link stopped working for the cartoon below. I do not know what happened. Meanwhile, if I can locate the cartoon somewhere else, I will let you know and repost it.
Firstly, I wanted to explain this cartoon. I might have missed the joke and laughed at the wrong thing. I laughed at Lucy saying, “His superior — a woman.” Maybe that is not what the joke is about. Did I miss the point? Sorry, ladies!
Maybe women look at men as dogs. Anyway…
Four Now Replaced By Whites
Since I wrote this article⬇️ four black QB’s have been replaced by white QB’s:
New Orleans (Sept. 12, 2025) — Half of teams in the NFL have black starting QB’s. My thoughts include surprise. I knew that there were a number of black starting QB’s in the league, but I did not realize that number is now 16. That means that one-half of the league is led by black QB’s. Yes, I was surprised to hear that.
⬇️I rank the current tops⬇️
1. Lamar Jackson 2. Patrick Mahomes 3. Jalen Hurts 4. Jordan Love 5. Jayden Daniels. That’s enough for now. I will watch them as the season progresses to see if anything changes.
UPDATE: As of this writing (Nov. 4, 2025), five of these QB’s have been replaced because of injury or otherwise. Four of them by white QB’s.
Jayden’s Brutal Arm Injury
Gazette (Nov. 4, 2025) — Look at how QB Jayden Daniels’ left arm is bent backwards. Everyone was waiting for Jayden to have a great 2025 season. Sorrow is felt everywhere.
This thing is BRUTAL looking! Jayden Daniels arm shouldn’t bend THAT way! “Dislocated Elbow” – uhhhhh yeah. pic.twitter.com/HNTAqAenRD
Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield does not like the New Orleans Saints. He proved it by beating the Saints 34-10 on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025.
The Saints play Tampa Bay next⬇️ in Tampa on Dec. 7, 2025. I am praying that the Saints can get some revenge then for the Oct. 26th loss. Baker Mayfield laid some real pain on the Who Dats in the Superdome, for which Saints fans want retribution.
Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield said about his game this week vs. the Saints, "Not much else to say besides the fact I don't like them (the Saints)."
While I was meditating in my Zen hypnotic state, I saw these words: “The Lord of Hosts is not blind to the oppression that we are facing or to the injustices being committed by our oppressors. He will shatter and bring turmoil to our oppressors.The Lord of Hosts (the Lord of Armies) is your hammer and weapon of war. With Him you will break nations into pieces; you will destroy kingdoms. He is Sovereign over all armies. Abba, Our Father, is always the hammer of war for us believers.”
Pray for peace in the United States or prepare for its collapse. The Lord of Hosts is not blind to the oppression that you are facing or to the injustices being committed by your oppressors. Yahweh will shatter and bring turmoil to your oppressors.
If Donald Ttump can ignore the term limits rule, surely can the Dems.

Meanwhile, I found this picture⬇️ taken recently of two of us. So, I have to find a picture with the other two (my sisters).

Meanwhile, I still list the video ⬇️ as in/work which I reference in the link below. It is fine. However, I want to clean it up a tad bit more before I call it finished. I will notify you here once I get it totally corrected and finito.
Progress So Far
I am still working on clearing up and cleaning up the video. I put the link here⬇️ of what I have so far until I can post the completed video to explain more perfectly what I am trying to say. P.S. I think that it is okay for now:
I wanted to say good morning with a brief video. I am stuck in a rabbit hole. If I led you down this rabbit hole with me, I hope that you find something awakening. I put a link where I hope that you will find an answer. https://t.co/YTxyHfAOUMpic.twitter.com/gxrDtgOPYT
On the left ⬇️ we see Bunny Wunnie №2 who seems invincible, and who can do whatever crazy/illegal stuff he wants. This Bunny Wunnie can spend billions of taxpayer dollars willy nilly for his own desires (the WH ballrom, for example) while taking away health care from millions of citizens. Woe to justice in America.

In the article that I wrote below at Boscoville, I am referring to the Mardi Gras poster at the link⬇️. Like I said, the Mardi Gras poster at the link is one of my favorites.
I will write (in the next day or so) what I think history will say of our current times. Who knows whom history will be kinder to.
We can see the kind of man Donald Trump is by how he treats the children caught up in his deportation raids. People in California started protesting Trump’s immoral and illegal raids. So, Trump’s answer is to send in thousands of National Guard troops and Marines. Oh, my God! This is an invasion of California by insurrectionist Trump. He is a Nazi criminal.
Children of undocumented migrants are reportedly being placed in custody, separated from their parents who are en route to deportation in the current crackdown. How did ICE expect the majority minority city of LA to react?
CARIBBEAN (Privateer Country) — In the deep waters of the Caribbean Sea, an escaped revolutionary laid his plans while sailing the captured ship with his renegade crew. Survival was utmost on his mind. The crimson, moonlit waters were his home.
AS THE STORY GOES!
03/01/26 (note: I espouse my Caribbean Pirate roots in more of the story below). Meanwhile:
GAZETTE (Palm Sunday) — I lost my dentures back when I wrote about that full moon ⬇️. It led me to lay my prayers at the altar of the Lord. These many dentists in New Orleans are worthless. Anyway, I walked outside my house that night and saw this big, ol’ full moon in the sky. That is “amore.” Now, I can go back inside my house after that sign and wait on the Lord to come my way. ❤️❤️❤️ That big, beautiful full-moon in the sky inspired many memories in my mind.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.Amen.Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
As I place my fears and regrets before the altar of the Lord, suddenly what?
No, I have no fears… Jesus is Lord! No, I have no regrets Because today, my life, my joys begin with you. I love you!
Where was I, the penultimate Cariɓbean Pirate, on Memorial weekend?
I sat down to write about my Memorial Weekend holiday when other stuff came to mind. I have been reading the book Captain Blood upon which the movie with Errol Flynn was based. I ordered the book on KINDLE, but think that I need to buy the hard copy for some studious reading of it. I claim Caribbean Pirate roots; so, the story in the book has been fun for me. I once ordered my DNA results from MY HERITAGE, and found definitive roots from pirates all the way from Ireland through Spain and France, Italy through Tunisia to the Caribbean Sea and the High Seas.
I bought the book, and I’m reading it on Kindle.
This is the day that I realized that Muhammad Ali is human:
This picture ⬆️ was after Muhammad Ali lost the decision to Joe Frazier. I forgot where I was.
Of course, I would never go on the show Finding your Roots with Henry Louis Gates. I surely would not want that son-of-a-bitch gloating over me (with the whole world watching) with paperwork and pictures, etc. asking me gleefully, “And what do you think of that”? No, No… reveal shocks and surprises to me privately. I would strangle him on the spot for the whole world to see if I were on his show. I just know that he would love pulling up pictures and annals of someone running half-naked with lions through the jungle in a loin cloth with him (Gates) hollering about, “This is your X-X-X-X great-grandfather,” or something out of left field like that. No, No, No… Henry Louis Gates, I never want to give you that pleasure. FORGET IT, you gloating son-of-a-gun!
Words of Wisdom for: he who is guilty on all 34 counts. That story is COMING SOON!Guilty on all counts!
FERDIE WERDIE (May 21, 2024) — What a shame that so many so-called Americans will vote for this convicted felon; and possibly put him in the White House. WHAT A TRAVESTY!
Post 3/3 >>I have not gotten to write much about my weekend because I got sidetracked with Captain Blood. Once I order the hardcopy and get deeper into the book, I might have more in-depth stuff to write.
Speaking of the High Seas, my brother once said that O.J. would get me next. Why? I will soon write a post to explain why he told me that. See the clip:
Incarnation (or The INCARNATION) means that God took human form in the body of Christ. The doctrine is based on the paradox that because God was incarnated in Christ, Christ was both fully human and fully God at the same time. For Lent, I am studying this much more deeply. BTW, The Church festival commemorating the announcement (Annunciation) of the Incarnation by Gabriel the Archangel to Mary is held on March 25 (Lady Day). How often have I driven on and parked on Annunciation St. in New Orleans from the Crescent City Connection to the uptown Walmart w/o ever making that miraculous connection in my mind?
GAZETTE (New Orleans) — When Mary accepted God’s offer to bear and give birth to Jesus (Conceptio Christi), the Word (of God) became one of us. God became “incarnate,” with a body like ours; hence the name Incarnate Word. Because of His resurrection, the Incarnate Word continues to dwell among us. The Resurrection is celebrated on Easter Sunday.
Conceptio Christi is a Christian holiday commemorating the visit of the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, where he announced that she would give birth to Jesus Christ.
Going back further, even unto the Old Testament, this boy (below) wants to know how people inhabited the earth.
His daddy had already told him that people multiplied from Adam and Eve.
I made a note for y'all in the below video. Follow me down this rabbit hole for a possible golden nugget.
This video shows me telling you something about the Easter time March 25th Feast of the Annunciation or Lady Day that I recently spoke about. I thought that I should share this with you. I mispronounced the Greek phrase Conceptio Christi. I will redo the video one day to correct my mispronounciation. Click:
Feast of Conceptio Christi
Speaking of feasts, I have a question about the picture of the pan of deliciousness that is shown here.
The caption called this #NewOrleans stuffed bell peppers. My question is: do people make these in other parts of the country? pic.twitter.com/WSzxad6MGr
Clarence is not leaving for himself a great legacy in history. by Ferdie Werdie (June 17, 2023) — How can you say he is a credit to his race when he is tearing down everything that people fought and died for in the 1960’s? He is gutting voting rights, destroying affirmative action, turning abortion rights back to the Dark Ages. Plus, he receives questionable “political” gifts, hides under-the-table unethical dealings, has lied, etc. Clarence Thomas has turned the Supreme Court into one with ethical problems. My question is: do some of his actions taint his court rulings?
Speaking of the “MAGA crowd,” Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife works with the deplorables even though Clarence rules in the Supreme Court on many of the MAGA actions. Democrats call for new supreme court ethics rules amid Clarence Thomas’ recurring scandals… which ethics rules will be too little and way too late.
2/2 >>I listened to the song to see if it helps me understand better. In fact, I like the song:https://t.co/i0Po8vGkRW
It is so unfair for Judge Thomas to pass SCOTUS judgements on the very rights and most personal freedoms of Americans’ lives. In his unethical hands are life and death judgements which will last for many decades and beyond. How unfair to Americans! Democrats accuse the top U.S. court of the ‘lowest ethical standards’ in history, but Republicans say criticism of Justices Neil Gorsuch and Thomas is unfounded. The Republicans are evil and rotten.

These two Hollywood icons were sleeping with men undercover. Tell me it “ain’t” so. These here are Cary Grant and Gary Cooper. The article in the link below says they left “a legacy of bravery and perseverance.” Maybe, that is such concerning the roles they played in the movies; not so in their life as gays.
The link below might explain some of their gay lifestyles.

Then, firstly, a note: by Ferdie (Jan. 28, 2023) — I received some good news about my A1C and blood sugar levels on Thursday. My doctor said, “Excellent”! After that good news, this is what I said about my “staying afloat” health wise and how I wanted to celebrate:
Now, back to my article:
BOSCOVILLE (Gazette) — By the way, I wrote this section on Mardi Gras weekend 2014 in New Orleans: “The best of the parades and the best of the Balls are this weekend… culminating on Fat Tuesday. I am worn down tonight; but I am going to kick things back off in the morning.”
Yes, this picture ⬆️⬆️ is becoming one of my favorites. I need to find this poster and hang it on my wall. WHERE CAN I FIND THIS POSTER?? I want it.
New Orleans GAZETTE (February, 2014) — I just read something that reminded me that the OSCARS are tonight. I might come back online later and list my choices before the broadcast.
GAZETTE (Jan. 20, 2023) — True story! During a 2023 New Year’s celebration (at about 1220am), I sang a song for the crowd which I dedicated to a sweet someone which rendition made her swoon. I occasionally serenade her anyway; and many of the romance songs which I sang at the Coffee House were written by me for her. Very true! Plus, NEXT➡️ …this is another true story: https://x.com/Ferd3desk/status/1697301231784345833?t=PqpU7pYV0Q30YDzXGshTaA&s=19
GAZETTE (Jan. 28, 2023) — This following definition enhancement is for me because it tells me a success strategy. It might help me with reaching my goals: Ideation is not just a one-time idea generation or a brainstorming session. In fact, we can divide ideation into these three stages: generation, selection, and development.
A NOTE in 2014. (I have since changed my mind 180°): Coach Monty Williams of the New Orleans Pelicans needs to be fired. This team has been in last place of their division for the last three years. Does owner Tom Benson have his head stuck up his buttockal area?
I like old-school movies and old-school pictures. Bettie Page has to be the most prolific pinup queen ever. She has a great, unending volume of pictures. The Los Angeles Times wrote: “Page was most famous for the estimated 20,000 4-by-5-inch black-and-whoite glossy photographs taken by amateur shutterbugs from 1949 to 1957. The photos showed her in high heels and bikinis or negligees, bondage apparel–or nothing at all.”
GAZETTE (Sept. 2019) — Where is #HurricaneDorian going to hit in the U.S.? I heard some say that it might hit #Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s #Florida resort.
Ann Coulter sent an interesting tweet.
At least Dorian patiently waits outside our border before crashing ashore, more than can be said for your average illegal.
