The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Mardi Gras During World War II-- Part 1
From the March 6, 2011, New Orleans Times-Pocayune "Krewe of Bacchus pays tribute to World War II generation" by Masako Hirsch.
Since today is Mardi Gras, I got to wondering if Mardi Gras took place during World War II. With all the revelry, it wouldn't seem right, but perhaps it did take place just to relieve people of all the war's woes, even if for just a short time.
Plus, with all the rationing, would there be food and especially, would there be king cake? Would people be able to drive from distances?
So, I Set Out On A Search on Yahoo!. --GreGen
