On Mardi gras day or any day if you are riding on a float, you always pick up Popeyes chicken to have on the float with you and someone always cooks a huge vat of jambalaya and/or gumbo and king cake. Those are food staples for Mardi gras. Also every Krewe has a King and Queen. Maybe you can sell raffle tickets for a weekend in New Orleans and the people that sell the most tickets are crown King and Queen the night of the event. Also we throw doubloons by the hand full.
Depends where you live. by Jose Pagliery @Jose_Pagliery May 1, 2015: 7:12 PM ET. The answer depends on where you live -- and how you use it. If you live in the South and already own solar panels, it could take you just under three years to make up the cost of the $3,000 Tesla Powerwall battery. But if you live in the Pacific Northwest and don't have solar panels, it could take you at least 16 years to make up the cost of buying Tesla's new home battery.
Best Answer: The state of the art Tesla with it's 6800 lithium ion cells specs at 244 miles per charge, conservatively driven, racing around might half that. Home conversions using 1000 pounds of lead acid batteries commonly have something like a 25 to 50 mile range. Non the less some of these conversion owners are pleased to do their daily commute with 2 cent a mile 'fuel' costs. The later versions of the doomed GM EV-1 could do up to 150 miles on a charge.
