Brule

Good Mornin', all!
In Alberta, Canada, on the edge of the Willmore Wilderness, there is a small town called Brule. It's a tiny place with just a couple hundred inhabitants .. more horses than people.
It was so named, because in the very early 1900's, a forest fire swept through the town burning it to the ground. When they rebuilt, they changed the name to Brule (pronounced Broo-lay), an old French-Canadian term for an area of forest, destroyed by fire.
However, being a red-necked area in rural Alberta, the residents can't seem to say "Broo-lay" and call their town, "Brewell".
No matter how you pronounce it, the fall colours in Brule looked pretty good, to me!
