This is Mr. Tibs.

In our apartment in Mainz, he was usually part of the furniture.

This is Augustinerstrasse, around the corner from where we lived.
Tourist city.

Produce at the market place. Great shopping every Saturday.

Nice apartment.
Celebrity friends.
A camouflage teddy bear.
(Yes, we had it all.)

Did you ever see that 'Star Trek' episode where they went crazy in the streets?

Things start out quiet, then something clicks.

Mainz takes its fun seriously.
Fools in uniform for "Karneval."

This picture was taken from our apartment window.

I've never been one to shirk a party, but when the medics have to carry you away, I'd say you've had too much.

And who's left to clean up when everybody's home with a hangover?

Procession of fools to the Cathedral.

The Cathedral.

Then back to quiet.

Goodnight Mr. Tibs.
