Morning all!............ I had to laugh at KK's post last night ........... and yes, I MIGHT have been known to 'caper' around - doning 'the' tutu, pirate hat, beads and consuming KOTSW - ................... but that was just so I'd blend in with everyone else.......... that's my story and I'm sticking to it ;)
................... actually, yesterday had to be a record turn out - I bet we topped 500,000............ the weather was perfect - sunny and about 73. After my last post, Mr. AV put our porch rockers out on the sidewak - one facing southeast, one facing northwest (we live on a corner).............. and we had a front row seat to the mass exodus.............. hilarious!!!!.......... only a few 'major' incidents - one poor guy decided 'biking while intoxicated' was a good idea, and he is now sans the skin on both his knees........... another couple thought that perhaps a 'passed out nap' on the front lawn would suit, but Mr. AV's hose convinced them otherwise.............. he was actually very nice, got the girl up and let her sit in his rocker - until she emptied the contents of her stomach all over it, herself and the sidewalk............ parametics in golf carts were then flagged down, and Mr. AV then hosed down the rocker................. there were the typical drunken 'you don't love me' and 'I am NOT drunk' fights that could be heard........... and of course, THOUSANDS of beads - some people had so many around their necks I don't know how they could stand! overall, a pretty typical Gasparilla!!
..... the college crown was about 20 strong, and they were all great kids - partying, but none of them got out of control, ate everything that I put out (and then some) and actually helped me clean up last night!....... this morning we'll get them on the road, and then probably spend the day washing and mopping the floors...............
hope everyone is having a nice day!
