I am not surprised to learn that Chateau de Vaux le Vicomte is the chateau that inspired Verrsailles; it is an impressive sight indeed.<BR/><BR/>Ruth, actually it's "babel" fish, not "babble" fish, but your point is well taken. How long will you be "enmeshed" in the state history and government of Utah? Let's see, there's Brigham Young and there's the Utah Jazz, and probably some kind of legistlative body made up largely of Mormons. Doesn't that just about cover it?rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-80344874839899450722008-06-30T12:53:00.000-04:002008-06-30T12:53:00.000-04:00I love the photo.

I think the babble part of its name is "très vrai." maybe sometime when I'm not enmeshed in the state history and government of Utah, I'll visit the original and puzzle it out.Ruth Hull Chatlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797146501548509911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-11398475415383571182008-06-30T09:42:00.000-04:002008-06-30T09:42:00.000-04:00A new rubric for you on "Le monde comme je l'aime"...A new rubric for you on "Le monde comme je l'aime".

The gene has been found to be dominant to at least the fourth generation (and perhaps beyond - we don't have an adult 5th generation around to test, yet.) A Pond Spell may be defined as a prolonged fit of uncontrollable laughter which leads to copious tears and the seeming inability to breathe. Once near-normal breath is recovered, just a mention (or glimpse) of the causative factor causes a repeat onset of the malady (ad exhaustion.) The terrible part of it is that it's contagious. A Pond who wanders into the presence of another Pond in the throes of a "spell" is caught up in it even if they have NO idea what is so funny! A room full Pond descendants with a Pond Spell in full spate is an event never to be forgotten. <BR/><BR/>I am not kidding... I had a Pond Spell while I was reading your post. I dare not look at it again until I've recovered somewhat, and then I expect that it will happen all over again.<BR/><BR/>If laughter is the best medicine, I should be healthy for a long, long time. Thanks. -- Mme. Pat<BR/><BR/>(*)I'm kidding about the gene; we don't really know what causes it.
