Dave,

I hope to get to Junea some day and the Kenai Peninsula where my wife's cousin lives so I can catch a giant halibut.

Here is an example of why Paris and it's near surrounds are so wonderful. It is also an example for one aspect of the current theme of this thread, of the many sides of the French culture and character. In this case, of the envy and treachery of King Louis 14 who could not tolerate the beauty that Fouquet created, had him imprisoned for life and created the Palace at Versailles based on Fouquet's ideas. I apologize for drifting a bit from the topic or stretching it but I am still intoxicated from the visit to Paris last year. Myron

Picasso was Spanish, so it makes no sense for the French to take it personally if any American doesn't appreciate him. The French, by the way, are completely incapable of producing decent jazz, blues, or rock'n'roll, so they've got no reason to sneer at Americans.

And their greatest general, perhaps their only great general, was Corsican.
