Ash Wednesday in Japan, ...and Mardi Gras in America

I'm writing this entry, in Japan, on 7:30AM (that is 9 hours forward of the Greenwich Time in UK, and 17 hours forward of the Pacific Time in US) of Wednesday, March 1st 2006.
That is, the "Ash Wednesday", a beginning of 44 days of "Lent", a season of repentance and sacrifice, on the end of which we celebrate the Easter.

But, beyond the time zones over the globe, you might be enjoying some carnival, I imagine.
And I'm really concerning myself for The Mardi Gras, the finale of the carnival of New Orleans, Louisiana, where the Hurricane Katrina hit the region in the early autumn of 2005.

God bless especially this event this year. Amen
