Tonight's parades are over, and since I've never gotten up in time to see the Iris and Tucks parades, I've set an alarm to make sure I'm dressed and caffeinated when the livestream starts.
It's bedtime for this Bonzo, so night night, y'all. Sleep purdy if sleep is coming up on your schedule.

This is a permanent float for the Krewe of Morpheus, so it's in the parade every year. And every single year I'll see it, grab a screenie, and post it because I love seeing my name in a Mardi Gras parade.
And for the record, my name uses the French pronunciation, which is why I use my initials.

Hey, I made a Mardi Gras parade again this year! The float is the Krewe of Morpheus' Krewe De Renaissance, and the ship is named the S.S. Jeanne Marie. My name? Jeanne Marie, so it's my ship. #NOLA #MardiGras 😸

The pain in the back of my neck flared up again, and I discovered that I can use a folded-up hoodie to hold the heating pad against me if I tie the hood and a sleeve together.

There's a pause in the Krewe of Morpheus parade, probably for the king's toast, and the music for a dancing group is blasting "Don't Stop Believin'," and everyone is singing along. For some reason, I started looking for a guy from Chavez Ravine, but he wasn't there. IKYTYK #NOLA #MardiGras #Dodgers

They don't look so good now, but it's just the start

They'll be biscuited, then some black brushwork and wax, followed by a VCAA blue or maybe oribe glaze

Call your senators, tell them to defund ICE and CBP
