Picture says it all. One of the lead “floats”

Betcha that set some celebrants running!

They are starting to wake up in NOLA, the Bourbon Street webcam was showing not much but delivery vans up until about a half hour ago, now we have a few pedestrians. None carrying Hurricanes yet, but give it a few minutes. It looks pretty cold and bleak, but I'm betting on tits out by the afternoon.

L'aissez le bon temps roulez!

Mobile is gearing up. Pensacola had a nice parade Saturday and another big party tomorrow night.

I so miss Mardi Gras both when I lived in Mobile and in Kenner La. I was younger then, and really had some fun and saw some sights!!
