On Fat Tuesday they let us cuss as long as it wasn't too foul or using the Lord's name, during lent cussing was treated with harsh punishment.
The cool thing about lent was on Fridays we ate fish we caught, I sure do miss Blue Pike.

Love everything festival like...except Mardi Gras in person. Almost bought it one year, just tryin' to get close on the Harley. Last time I try that... And this year? They said, there were more than a MILLION in attendance.
SCREW THAT. I like my "party's" , a lil' more intimate, thank you. Nothing over a Quarter Mill, or so...lmao

of course we had King Cake,n at least a half dozen other treats including crepe,which we always had for dessert,topped with everything imaginable 
(okay, maybe a little more often than occasionally 
). We normally head down to the Gas Lamp District in San Diego - kind of like a mini Bourbon Street with what is claimed to be the largest Mardi Gras Celebration in the US outside of N.O. But with the new grand baby I spent most of the day at the hospital and just wasn't up to riding down there that late in the day - by the time we got there most of the surrounding roads would be closed and even though I love to party, I hate to walk !!! Plus I wanted to stay close to help with anything the kids might need when they take the baby home tomorrow.
