Purim Wierdnesses

[mamadeb]

Right now, on my street, is a guy on a horse dressed up as Mordechai from the book of Esther, escorted by three police cars and a sound truck announcing he's collecting for a charity called "Yod Eliezar", followed by guys with garbage pails for the money.

I *love* my neighborhood.

And my friend Leah just came by to deliver gifts - dressed in Pakistani clothes. As her family is from Calcutta (there was a large Jewish population there once upon a time), it's very appropriate and very lovely on her.
