When considering one's motivation for time traveling, many questions arise. The most important factor is a desire to not be NOW.

Space, Portable Toilets, and New Orleans Mardi Gras
The No Fun Police Are Out
In a city where using a Port-a-let can lead to a staph infection, and urinating in public is illegal, renting a Port-a-let for one’s family seems to be a reasonable solution, although not something I would ever do myself. An avid parade goer for ten years, I have never been disturbed by the sight of a citizen’s Port-a-let set up on city property.
Apparently, as WDSU News Live reports, portable toilets are not allowed in public spaces, and police are cracking down.

“Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said he's just enforcing a rule that has been in place for years. ‘This is public space and before a parade, we can't have this,’ he said.
The city is setting up 300 portable toilets along the parade routes, but if you get your own, be warned that it must be placed on private property. City leaders said it's not allowed on the neutral ground or sidewalks, where safety is a concern.
‘Not on neutral ground where someone can't use that space, and that's kind of the message,’ Serpas said. (“Police To Ramp Up Carnival 'Potty Patrol,'” 2011).
I am curious if the definition of portable toilets has been discussed, and if it has, what it is.

Lunar Calendar, Mardi Gras, 2038
Bruce Nolan did a nice job explaining why Mardi Gras falls when it does in his article "Lunar calendar throws Mardi Gras date for a loop each year."
Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of spring, and this year is a late Mardi Gras. Nolan did the math, explaining that Fat Tuesday can occur as early as Feb. 3 and as late as March 9. The next time we'll have a Mardi Gras this late will be in 2038.
2038 or in the Chinese system, the year 4736, is a Year of the Horse.

Very Sad Day When Police Shut Down Blue Nile Mardi Gras Costume Sale.
The police actually shut down the Mardi Gras costume sale. This is very sad. This is not something that happened in the past.

The Universe
it is easy to forget that the universe does respomd. if for a minute, one can wrap her mind around her own small part of the universe, perhaps she can remember to trust the universe during the moments too.
the moments are always tricky. but sometimes the correct path presents itself. that is all i want. for mardi gras. for forever, but especially for mardi gras ...to hear the universe and to trust it.
