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!

Someplace throughout the paragraphs you managed to make me a believer unfortunately only for a while. I nevertheless have got a problem with your leaps in logic and you might do well to fill in those gaps. If you actually can accomplish that, I would certainly be fascinated.

    I have realized some considerations through your site post. One other stuff I would like to talk about is that there are various games in the marketplace designed mainly for toddler age young children. They incorporate pattern acceptance, colors, dogs, and designs. These generally focus on familiarization rather than memorization. This keeps little children engaged without having a sensation like they are studying. Thanks

    I also believe that mesothelioma cancer is a exceptional form of most cancers that is typically found in all those previously subjected to asbestos. Cancerous cellular material form inside mesothelium, which is a shielding lining which covers most of the body’s bodily organs. These cells typically form inside the lining of the lungs, stomach, or the sac that encircles the heart. Thanks for discussing your ideas.

    I have taken notice that in digital camera models, extraordinary receptors help to concentrate automatically. The sensors connected with some camcorders change in in the area of contrast, while others start using a beam associated with infra-red (IR) light, especially in low lumination. Higher standards cameras from time to time use a mix of both programs and likely have Face Priority AF where the camera can ‘See’ the face and concentrate only upon that. Thank you for sharing your thinking on this blog site.
