Yes, Indeed. Stay away from the Guillotines. I also sent a greeting to one of my dear friends, whose birthday is today. Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

It was also the 150th anniversary of the “Ems Dispatch” incident. Things kinda went downhill for the French after that date. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ems_Dispatch --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

One great rendering of La Marseillaise is in Casablanca. Well worth rewatching. | |||

"Casablanca" is my Bastille Day movie. Almost time to run to a small shop and get a pack of Kronenbourg 1664 beer so I can watch the movie this evening.This message has been edited. Last edited by: rat2306, | |||

Woke up today.. Great day! |
Took the wife and two daughters on a trip to Italy and France a few years ago. In Paris we stayed at a hotel right near the Arc de Triomphe. We knew it was Bastille Day but didn't realize the extent of the holiday. Walked out of our hotel to see a huge parade with military vehicles including lots of flyovers and tens of thousands of people. We spend the day and evening walking through the masses ending with a fantastic fireworks show over the Eiffel Tower. One of the best family days of our lives. They put on a really great party! | |||

I was conceived after an “over exuberant” Bastille Day celebration in Paris according to my dad. | |||
