Lafayette Louisiana courthouse


There are a couple of them, flat-headed statues depicting blindfolded justice, but the statues stop at the brow. Justice is not supposed to be mindless. They didn't think this through. The idea is off. Finally, unsatisfactory. Like there wasn't enough marble. There is no getting used to them.

This is where the phrase "He's lost his marbles" comes from, Chip. :)

BTW, I spent two wonderful years there getting my M.A. at USL 71-73 and is where I met my wife--an Opelousas "Creole Queen" lol.(Opelousas, home of Jim Bowie--a branch bank sits on what used to be his home--still has an historical marker on/at the site, tho. One can custom order one's checks with a Bowie Knife depicted, so never let it be said that bankers don't appreciate history, lol)
