Another early morning run today. Zipping by the hospital in the pre-dawn hours and then off to the office with a quick stop for coffee and breakfast before work. We hit Beaners on Liberty again. Quite tasty coffee, good scones (My Wife thinks they’re kind of dry, but I think they’re fine with coffee) and a great view of the deserted early morning streets.
Well, almost deserted. There were a few folks out in the bitter bitter cold. Far fewer than usual, what with it being spring break and all. And the folks who were out were all decked out in some pretty fantastic trousers.
One rather zaftig lady had on some satin/lamé pants that looked like they were made from liquid black metal. Very flashy when she walked, and not something you’d expect from someone with her build, but she looked quite good in them.
I have to wonder if it was a sort of show of solidarity with the partying going on in New Orleans. Around here, folks tend to think of it as “Paczki Day“, but it’s also Fat Tuesday, and that’s a good day to be wearing some stylish carnivale pants.
