Animal Parade

“To be is to do.” – Immanuel Kant

A mere 48º F in NOLA, but the breeze off the lake made it truly gloomy.  In fact, the Pax was caught on camera at the start:

Seven men from F3NOLA and one man from F3Hickory made up the valiant Pax at Okwata. #Tclaps to Taz for posting today.  After watching Hotty Toddy grab Cowbell from flying away, it was time to get started..but first…
