¿”Creek, haha”?  My apologies Dan, but please explain.

Originates with Col. Benjamin Hawkins of North Carolina, a Continental Congress senator and general superintendent of 'Indian Affairs' from 1796 to 1818. When he was summoned to the nation's capital, he reportedly once responded, “If God is willing and the Creek don't rise.”

The 'Creek' referenced is not a running body of water but rather an indigenous people of the US SouthEast predating European settlers by quite some time. Hence 'C'reek vis-a-vis 'c'reek.
Thanks Dan. Your reply had "creek" as the first word of a sentence (or sentence wanna be), so the capital C seemed grammatically called for, and I missed the allusion to the Creek people.

[Image: isfHxcu.jpeg]Aramis Tuscany - it’s even better than Azzaro Pour Homme in my view, but both are very similar fragrances.
