Carnival season started in Germany and Austria today at 11:11 am.

In Rhineland it means costume parties, culminating in the big parades in the Ash Wednesday Week.

In Austria the ball season is opened, ending with the high profile Opernball.

Me, I hate carnival.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

From November until February-March? That's a long carnival season.

Quite so. Annoyingly long.
