See more destruction to understand the maginatude of what happened and hear the brass playing Jazz at K-Pauls.
I heard mention that someone might come to Mardi Gras as an MRE, and another as a refrigerator.
The survivors almost all had a taste of Meals Ready to Eat and everyone lost their refrigerators after the power went down.
The Mardi Gras goes on.
Its' roots are religious and the Catholics of New Orleans practice their faith with conviction and flair. The Carnival is beyond government, not the realm of the corporations, either. Pure New Orleans all jazzed up.
