I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Wikipedia Description: Baton Rouge, Louisiana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baton Rouge, French: Bāton-Rouge is the capital and historically the second largest city in Louisiana behind New Orleans but the effects of Hurricane Katrina have, at least temporarily, reduced the population of New Orleans such that East Baton Rouge Parish is currently larger than Orleans Parish. It serves as the parish seat of East Baton Rouge Parish. In June 2005, East Baton Rouge Parish contained 412,000 residents. The U.S. Census Bureau, released in March 2007 new post-Katrina population numbers for East Baton Rouge Parish and surrounding communities affected by Hurricane Katrina and found only 19,264 new residents moved in after Hurricane Katrina which is a far cry from the 100,000 mayor-president Kip Holden believed to be in the parish and even the conservative 30,000 to 50,000 believed to be in the parish by the Baton Rouge area Chamber. Kip Holden and the Baton Rouge Chamber don't have supportive facts for their extremely high population estimates and stood firmly behind those numbers throughout 2006 which was surprising seeing as several reports released throughout much of 2006 found the displaced population steadily shrinking with every report.
Baton Rouge is located in the southeast portion of the state along the Mississippi River. It owes its location and its historical importance to its site upon Istrouma Bluff, the first bluff upriver from the Mississippi delta, which protects the city’s 224,097 residents from flooding and other natural disasters. In addition to the natural protection, the city sports a levee system stretching from the bluff southward to protect the riverfront and the southern agricultural areas.
The Greater Baton Rouge population is approximately 700,000. The effects of Hurricane Katrina temporarily acclerated the metro's population in mid to late 2005, though the early estimates of soaring past 1 million have since been refuted. Joachim Singelmann, an LSU sociologist who directs the Louisiana Population Data Center, said Baton Rouge's metro area probably never topped 200,000 new people.
Baton Rouge is a major industrial, petrochemical, and port center of the American South.
Baton Rouge is sometimes known by the English translation, "Red Stick." Like other capital cities, its region is called the "Capital Area."

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
