Fat Tuesday in America (Well... in New Orleans)

Today is "Fat Tuesday."

Today is the day that Mardi Gras is celebrated in New Orleans, which I guess is still technically part of America, although I cannot say that it is spiritually part of America.

Spiritually, it is New Orleans unto itself.

Since we have a large number of visitors to this site from countries other than the United States, I thought I would try to explain Mardi Gras.

It is when you get your ya yas out.

Hope that helps.
