We have a pretty big Mardi Gras thing. Not remotely like New Orleans, let alone Brazil, but for a second tier Midwestern city it's pretty good. Thousands of people come out to party. The weather was almost spring-like yesterday, drawing a huge crowd. Some of the folks I know, particularly Lily on the left, asked me to photograph their Krewe de Junque. Hey, it's good if the glue holds together and there is a free hand for a beverage.
