Happy Carnival

Mark Twain observed, “… I think that I may say that an American has not seen the United States until he has seen Mardi Gras in New Orleans.”

It’s Monday morning in New Orleans and this Monday that means Lundi Gras! In the blink of an eye, Carnival will be over. In most places, tomorrow will be just another Tuesday. Here it is Mardi Gras, a major celebration. Schools will be closed. No mail will be delivered. Banks are closed. People, of all ages, will be outfitted in costumes and masks. The city is adorned with beads and doubloons and boas and funny hats and colored wigs.

Mardi Gras makes you say and do funny things. Yesterday, for instance, I noticed the time and remarked, “Okeanos is rolling and I haven’t started the king cake yet!” You are used to asking people if they are sidewalk side or neutral ground so you can find them on the parade route. I was very happy when I found my pink wig (that is a normal thing around here). We wondered if my husband’s Mardi Gras hat needs new batteries – because, of course, it lights up.

No one escapes this craziness.

Carnival in New Orleans is hard to explain. It is something that has to be experienced. It is fun and crazy. All of the colors, the music, the smells and excitement overload the senses. It is like nothing else. Hope your Monday is fabulous. Wish you were here!

    My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

    One thing I’d prefer to say is that car insurance termination is a feared experience and if you are doing the appropriate things like a driver you simply won’t get one. A lot of people do obtain notice that they are officially dumped by their own insurance company they then have to scramble to get more insurance from a cancellation. Low-priced auto insurance rates are usually hard to get from cancellation. Understanding the main reasons regarding auto insurance termination can help people prevent getting rid of in one of the most significant privileges accessible. Thanks for the concepts shared by your blog.

    Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    I have observed that online degree is getting common because accomplishing your college degree online has developed into popular method for many people. A large number of people have never had an opportunity to attend a conventional college or university nevertheless seek the raised earning possibilities and career advancement that a Bachelor Degree grants. Still other people might have a diploma in one field but would choose to pursue some thing they already have an interest in.

    In the awesome scheme of things you’ll secure a B+ for effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually misplaced everybody ended up being on all the specifics. As people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more true right here. Having said that, permit me say to you exactly what did do the job. Your authoring is quite persuasive and this is possibly the reason why I am making an effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, despite the fact that I can easily see a jumps in logic you come up with, I am not really certain of how you seem to unite the details which inturn produce the actual conclusion. For the moment I shall subscribe to your issue however wish in the near future you connect the facts better.

    I have noticed that of all forms of insurance, medical health insurance is the most controversial because of the turmoil between the insurance policies company’s need to remain profitable and the customer’s need to have insurance cover. Insurance companies’ commission rates on well being plans are certainly low, thus some companies struggle to make money. Thanks for the thoughts you reveal through this website.

    These days of austerity in addition to relative anxiousness about taking on debt, many individuals balk against the idea of having a credit card to make acquisition of merchandise or pay for a vacation, preferring, instead to rely on the actual tried as well as trusted approach to making repayment – hard cash. However, if you possess cash available to make the purchase in whole, then, paradoxically, this is the best time just to be able to use the card for several factors.
