In New Orleans even the circus must Parade!
I am anxiously awaiting the Circus parade that will pass by our offices today.
I hope that Blake picks up some peanuts.

World Naked Bike Ride makes it to NOLA
Braving a sweltering sun and temperatures in the 90s, several dozen unclothed New Orleans cycling enthusiasts -- bony, well-toned, flabby, hairy -- rode through the French Quarter to dramatize what they say is cyclists' vulnerability to the aggression and inattentiveness of motorists.

Chain Gang
Sullivan's project rapidly gained momentum within the cycling community through her NolaCycle blog (www.nolacycle.blogspot.com) — its mission statement and logo flying at its header. Sullivan says the project aims to show "there are ways to make cycling just as easy as driving, if not easier." The map also would give tourists, visitors or new residents a guidebook to navigate the city.
A curtsy for NolaCycle Map Project.
This is an amazing all volunteer powered operation that could actually be a key factor in altering the transportation alternatives New Orleans needs.
Oh and FREE bicycle maps.
Sweet!

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin quarantine could last a week
Ha. Joke's on me.
I have been seeing people post this in various places around the inter-world and I JUST NOW realized it WAS NOT an article in The Levee nolevee.com .
A precautionary swine flu quarantine that has confined New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, his wife, Seletha, and a member of his security team inside a Shanghai hotel continued for a second day Monday, and a spokeswoman said she could not predict how long Chinese health officials might enforce the restriction.

77 degrees in NOLA end of MAY
I am wearing a long sleeve Tshirt today and it is summer time.
Hopefully this breathe of cool fresh air will also lead to a quiet storm season.

Junk no longer profitable..
"Trash has crashed.
The economic downturn has decimated the market for recycled materials like cardboard, plastic, newspaper and metals. Across the country, this junk is accumulating by the ton in the yards and warehouses of recycling contractors, which are unable to find buyers or are unwilling to sell at rock-bottom prices."

Just another reason the legacies of The Incredibly Rich and Irresponsible need to be challenged with all of our might.
The layers of crap unfolding should be reason enough for a new sustained way of living. We CAN NOT continue on this path of destruction by accumulating more and more junk waiting for the "price" of junk to rise. Time for serious changes in habits. Like drinking out of an actual coffee mug instead of a disposable one. Disposable does not mean convenient when it is disposed of and then left in a huge collection of junk wasting space in a warehouse waiting it's inevitable trip to the landfil where it will continue to take up space for longer than our lifetime.
