Vive La République! Vive La France!

A 11heures, je vois sur la chaine FranceInfo, le meeting de Marine LePen <<La France Qu'on M!>> Je comprends un moitié des phrases, surtout les phrases typiques des politiques. <<Nous sommes prets! Notre projet est ambitieux. Il est moderne, il est nationale, pour la France. Avec un état protecteur. Des prédateurs en bas, comme les prédateur en haut! Nos filieres en peril. C'est vous que payer la fraude! Une immigration anarchique. A l'étranger que vient de nous, respecter nos lois! Le peuple francais est un peuple généreux et amicale, mais c'est en eux de décide qui peut rester, que peut etre francais. ... Nous voulons un France en paix. Nous en avons le courage, la volonté. Notre économie sera protégé, enfin. Des choix philosophiques. Avec nous, léconomie restera au service des gens. Les couts de confinements, la politique sanitaire, cette pénurie appliqué sur nos société. Qui a justifié la désolation sociale? La France est pour tous les Francais! Ce projet sur la grande politique maritime. Il faut faire des choix. A conquérir des nouveaux marchés. Le bonheur des francais. Cést une France fraternelle, qui sait que l'avenir, qui jamais abandonne des enfants. Rapellez-vous! Le pouvoir de l'achat c'est le grand question d'aujourd'hui. Qu'importe la gauche, qu'importe la droite, l'importance, c'est la France! L'indivisibilité de la république! La mobilisation! Lorsque le pays va vers l'abime... Nous allons gagné! L'avenir est dans vos mains. Vive la république! Vive la France!>>

My COVID journey, finally

11oct22 story of Covid: I flew to Des Moines for a mini-reunion of Thomas cousins; flew back on Monday the 3rd. I did not wear a mask. Evidently I should have worn a mask, as I later came down with Covid. The infection could come from anywhere, typically airborne virus shed by someone in the communicable phase of the disease. Throughout my airport and flight experience was quite calm and uneventful, so my guess is the most likely vector for the virus was the deplaning time – people are really eager to get out, they are talking, pressing close together, straining to grab bags from the overhead compartment and coordinate with their partners, thus breathing heavily. Very few people wore a mask. I do not remember anyone coughing or sniffling or breathing heavily around me, but that deplaning process is always rather hectic. I did not press to go quickly, but I did not want to delay my windowside seatmate, so I joined the crowd. As it was, when I arrived at baggage claim, my suit

Montpellier

[23mar22] Another walking day: to the A rc de Triomphe , passing through quaint quiet attractive old neighborhoods, particularly the P lace de Marché des Fleurs. Arc de Triomphe is spectacular, next to an equally impressive Palais de Justice , and the Promenade de Peyrou that has a great view of the surrounding hills and the aqueduct built by Peyrou to supply the city's fountains. The Jardin des Plantes – oldest botanical garden in Europe – opens at noon, so we walk around to the Cathedral St.Etienne, with its obscure side entrance, but huge interior space, really huge and rather stark, in keeping with its 13 th century origin – though of course several later kings and bishops added chapels, stained-glass, and organ. While there, the organ started up, providing appropriate sonic accompaniment to the surroundings (ref. My video). We return to the garden to await its opening, chatting with some Chicago tourists (go Bears!). The garden is very nice place for sauntering, and

Riding the Bus often

From 201010 Saudi scenes It is ironic that this land of cheap gasoline has so much group transport -- buses. From 201010 Saudi scenes Our housing compound has a Toyota-Coaster bus that takes some to/from school (we usually go earlier and return later, on a similar bus that the school provides). Driver Yahya takes residents on the 90-minute trip down to the Big City shopping every Thursday morning. The above picture shows our group one Thursday, usually going to Ikea or the new Lulu's Hypermarket , or the Dhahran Mall. Coleman rides a different bus every day to and from school -- usually 100 minutes there, 80 minutes back. His bus is evidently an old tourist bus, usually comfortable but a bit dusty. The air-conditioning usually works too well. I've ridden it with him several times, to attend business meetings at the district office. From 201010 Saudi scenes There he is, at 5:45am every morning, at the start of the bus run. Fortunately only about 20 students
