PAGAN WATCH:Weather stalls most New Orleans parades

NEW ORLEANS - This city's Carnival season got off to a rough start when thunderstorms and chilly temperatures canceled or postponed most of Friday's parades.About 50 other parades are scheduled to roll over the next 12 days, culminating with Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, the raucous pre-Lenten climax that falls on Feb. 5 this year.Friday's New Orleans parades were being staged by the clubs (known as "krewes") of Oshun and Pygmalion. Oshun rolled despite the rain, but Pygmalion rescheduled its romp through the streets for Wednesday.Parades scheduled in suburban Jefferson and St. Tammany parishes also were postponed.The Krewe of Cork's annual foot parade through the French Quarter was held before the rain fell. The krewe's members don wine- and grape-related costumes and culminate their day of "wine, food and fun" with a King and Queen's party, krewe officials said.The biggest parades — Endymion, Bacchus, Orpheus, Rex and Zulu — will take place during the season's final four days. Some will feature celebrity riders, including movie star Kevin Costner, who is scheduled to ride in Endymion on Friday, Feb. 2.About 800,000 people participated in Carnival last year, up from an estimated 350,000 in 2006, New Orleans' first Mardi Gras after Hurricane Katrina.

PS:You would have thought that after the devastation of Katrina,people would have truly repented and genuinely turn to God....but this shows you once more how the SINFUL nature of man is....it hasn't changed since garden.....
Sinners cry when tragedy hits.....but then when things get better they forget about God and go back to their wicked ways.....
How much we need a Saviour!!!!
May the Lord has mercy on these people blind and in darkness.....!!!!

As in the days of Noah....
