and there was plenty of loot to be had...Jimi captured the requisite handful of treats tossed from the parade floaters....however the funniest thing was that although each of the characters in the parade were tossing items to the crowd (beads, coins, etc), the one that got damned near everyone off their perch was a lass tossing cigarrette lighters out into the crowd...you would have thought that 100 dollar Benjamins were being tossed into a large swimming pool...

well done indeed...
