Tractors seemed to be what made all the floats move. And, in the parades that I saw, there were a couple of unattached trackers in the parade. At the ready, one guesses, to spring into action if needed.
About 1/3 of the floats were dedicated to some Zulu Krewe character or the other. The Mayor, The Governor, Mr Big Shot, The Witch Doctor etc. The rest of the floats honored a pantheon of cartoon/movie characters from the last 50 years.
All of the Zulu floats are the same size – huge. Bigger than a double-decker city bus.
Today, I spread my tax stuff all over the Old Bat Cave. And, I went to yoga. Getting back to “normal”.
