Is it France's respect that we are going to lose? Is our unchivalric conduct troubling a nation which exists to-day because a brave young girl saved it when its poltroons had lost it - a nation which deserted her as one man when her day of peril came? Is our treacherous assault upon a weak people distressing a nation which contributed Bartholomew's Day to human history? Is our ruthless spirit offending the sensibilities of the nation which gave us the Reign of Terror to read about? Is our unmanly intrusion into the private affairs of a sister nation shocking the feelings of the people who sent Maximilian to Mexico? Are our shabby and pusillanimous ways outraging the fastidious people who have sent an innocent man (Dreyfus) to a living hell, taken to their embraces the slimy guilty one, and submitted to indignities Emile Zola - the manliest man in France?--- Mark Twain, via Glenn.

What a gorgeous baby! We walked over to a local park, which has just been refurbished. The pool where I spent many a summer with the kids is gone, and what we have is a splash area. Well, Eric got really excited to see all the kids having fun, and wanted to get involved. Vince took him over and he got thoroughly wet. He really enjoyed it. The other grandkids would enjoy this, too, when they visit.

They claimed it was going to be cooler today. Ha. It was 93 degrees.
