That would still be Mobil Oil Co.


I believe it was originally the logo for the Standard Oil Company,
long before they changed the name to Mobil Oil !

So, are you Cajun by way of France, or from your mother's
side ? Seems to me that the origins of the name Slatten are Norwegian; long way from
France, and even longer to Louisiana !

I am married to a Canuk. Her name before accepting mine was Papineau. Her people are from Frech stock
that did not get "relocated" during the Acadian diaspora. I really don't know anything about it other than it happened. There was a girl name of Evangeline and she had a boyfriend. Something bout that? Those French people that live up there around and on the UP, you don't want to mess with em, they're crazy. They take you in, and they won't let you go. Course you won't have any reason to want to go, but that's another post.

Fresh Bait

Spirit had been out on the ice all day without seeing a single fish. Not even a nibble. He decides that today’s not the day and starts to pack up, when this old guy known as Saw1 walks up.

Without saying a word, he cuts a hole a few feet from Spirit and immediately catches a fish.

Saw coughs, baits his hook, and within seconds, there’s another fish on his line. This happens two, three times within as many minutes.

Spirit can’t believe his eyes. He’s been out here all day without seeing a single fish. He walks over to the man and asks, “What’s your secret?”

“Woohattakipowrmwm” the Saw answers back.

“What did you say?” replies Spirit.

Saw looks over, spits out a mouthful of worms on the ice and says, ”You have to keep your worms warm.”

In the winter we used to use maggots for whitefish, a man we fished with kept them warm by putting them under his lower lip. True story.....

From my Dad's mother's side. They originated in the Cajun section of Louisiana, and were raised in Leesville, Louisiana, in the SE part of the state near the Texas border. My paternal grandmother's maiden name was Callie Irene Poinbouf. She married Grandpa Slatten, also from Leesville.
