I was on my way from Natchitoches to Leesville (through the Kisatchie
National Forest) to install some printers at our Fort Polk Campus Library,
and I passed through Provencal.

Of course, I was forced to slow down, because of the notorius deputy with
radar, and decided that I needed to stop for a cup of coffee.

I pulled into the general store, parked and went in.  Three guys (older than
Ted Grant) were sitting around a table playing cards.

No one was at the counter.  One of them piped up, "Can I help you?"

I told him I was ready for a cup of coffee.

He said, "It's right over there in the pot, I just made some fresh."

I said, "How much?"

He said, " We don't charge for coffee, around here."

I said, "Can I put some money in the kitty?"

He said, "If you want to."

They continued playing cards, and I asked if this was a regular game, every
morning.

The one guy said, "It is, but since none of us have any money, it is not a
gambling game, and you're welcome to join us any morning you're passing
through."

I took my free coffee, and I guess I'll find a reason to join them some
morning.

Pictures to follow.

Regards,

Sonny in Natchitoches
