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 !!!!! “Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.” "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

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! | |||

“The Republic has no need for scientists.” —the People’s Tribunal refusing Lavoisier’s appeal prior to his execution _________________________ “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters. –Daniel Webster (1782-1852)" | |||

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