Re:  Johnny Cash's last album:  I knew, I would have been happy to have told you if I had known you didn't know and did care!

Note to self:  I really need to write Rick Rubin a thank you letter for having had the insight to let Johnny Cash record those American Recording albums.  Taken as a whole they are some of my favorite music of all time.

Oh man. Seeing these pictures and reading of the adventures reminds me why Paris is my favorite place in the world. I only spent a month there, but it has since become my goal to try and spend as much time as possible there for the rest of my life.

Thanks, Jim!

Bear in mind the ongoing and almost continuous run of strikes, not only in Paris but in la France entier.  My teacher at the French class, who is French, is just back from Grenoble and Nice and fell foul of a big railway strike called with only 1 day's notice.  She and her family are fed up with it. We've been stuck in Nice (gosh, what a terrible fate) because of a lightning strike at the airport. Mind, it isn't stopping us trying to have a week in Lille later in the year
Wonderful country, Paris is one of the great cities, culture, food, wine, comics - all can be of the highest quality but the strikes are worrying.

JVJ (RIP):
I do bear them in mind, paw,
and have found them at worst a mild inconvenience. Of course, I'm not trying to get to work every day and only once a trip do I have a plane to catch. Still, they seldom bring everything to a standstill, just remind everyone that there are real people doing those jobs and that needs to be recognized. And strikers here are NOT vilified as in the U.S., but tolerated and understood. It's a means of being heard, and LISTENED TO. It sounds a lot worse than it is.
