Mardi Gras 2024

During this year's parade, I strongly desired to capture some fantastic photos of the floats. However, knowing I would be busy catching beads during the parade, I decided to sneak into the parking lot where the floats were stored.

DO NOT DO THAT!

 My plan was to take some pictures of the floats before they made their way into the parade. Unfortunately, my plan didn't go as expected! 

 A federal marshal apprehended me., Handcuffed me .He told me that I was breaking the law! I'm like Dude! I'm just taking pictures!

He told me again I was breaking the law and he needed my identification. I told him it's in my Truck out there in the street with my wife, who is probably freaking out right about now seeing me in cuffs! He asked me many questions, searched me and said what truck?

 The "Termor," I said, towing the "Oliver" right over there on the corner, with the Sexy Blonde hanging out the door with a look of fright on her face!

He asked me what my license plate says, WE0000, I replied, I'm a professional Water Operator for Cameron Parish, SWLA.

Nice rig he said, uncuffed me, and told me to have fun at the parade tonite and stay out of the parking lot!

I said, "Dude" we need on the Border; he said no thanks, I'm happy right where I am. Have fun.

"I suppose these parade floats hold more significance than the borders of the US!"

I'm sorry, but I disagree with the Biden administration's handling of the border situation, which I consider a disaster.
