Why people even live in New Orleans is in itself foolish....
Somebody has to cook all that good food, which means a kitchen staff.
Somebody has to run the daily sidewalk cleaning equipment, and have been doing so, since 2000.
Somebody has to wear a cop uniform, to enforce the midnight endings of Mardi Gras.
And, finally, somebody has to run the ferry from Algiers to downtown New Orleans, so folks can go to work.
