It’s Mardi Gras day and this year’s Fat Tuesday signals continued recovery from the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.  This year, there are more available hotel rooms and 95 % of them are occupied.  Many more restaurants and night clubs are up and running and signs of hurricane destruction are gone from the parade course.  There is much more to do, but this year’s Mardi Gras shows that New Orleans survived the storms and continues to recover.  Way to go, NO!  Happy Mardi Gras Day.
