Today is Ash Wednesday and it is a public holiday for me. I am at home resting and wish I had some peace and quiet but the outrageous neighbors are at it. Some would give this day some sense of reverence and be mindful of the fact that most if not all of the neighborhood is home on a day such as this, not them though, they couldn't care less.
Today is Ash Wednesday
must be the Mighty Sparrow version of Ash Wednesday for the neighbors
It is time for Carnival !
