You are 65 and only now figuring out about the French? <br /><br />I have lived in several countries in Europe, but have only set foot in France at C. DeGaulle Airport because that was where the best flight connections took me. Believe me, I took the quickest flights out of there as I could.<br /><br />I have worked with many Frenchmen throughout Africa. My experience tells me that once they get out of their own country, away from "their own", they can be quite decent people to be with and work with. Just don't let 'em gather in large groups.<br /><br />Anyway, hope your blood pressure doesn't get too high over this.

There was a local columnist here in TX that generally hates everything and makes fun of anything, but wrote his best column ever yesterday. It was about the folks coming home from Iraq to the airport. A lady set up "Welcome Home Soldiers" table and set to getting rides from Austin to Kileen, a major Army base. She's fixed up over 50 so far, some people volunteering for the 2-hour ride even though their house was right here in town. All she has to do it get on the PA and say "I've got a soldier here needing a ride to Kileen and there's no bus until tomorrow ... come on up to the information center" and folks come running to help. Like I said, it was the best story-line he had ever written. -SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904821424581969401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9924834.post-1109441205140317642005-02-26T13:06:00.000-05:002005-02-26T13:06:00.000-05:00Amen brother!
