Unfortunately, the police department felt that for the first time this warranted their heavy protection so we were accompanied by about ten cops-on-bicycles and at least ten cops-on-motorcycles. It really put a damper on the spirit of the ride. No one minded the cops-on-bikes but the

The reason New Orleans houses don't have basements is because of the water. If you had four guys with jackhammers, you'd only make a dirty swimming pool.

And I can't believe you can speak so nonchalantly about the possibility of breaking Hello Kitty's face!

Your camera is adorable. Also, you are very skinny. Eat more.

Really, people, come on. Who decided it would be ok for motorcycle cops to escort people on horse, especially in such major numbers?

I am indeed really pleased with my little camera! I'm glad you like it, I suppose I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to burn anyone's retinas with the pixelation. :P No complaints thus far so all systems go!
