Happy Bastille Day!

I was going to post a picture of the Eiffel Tower or the Arc de Triomphe or Notre Dame Cathedral or a portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte or Louis XVI or Robespierre or somebody, but the thought of having to choose just one takes too much effort for moi in this Alabama heat and humidity.

Whatever you're doing this quatorze juillet, do it with gusto befitting the day. Liberty! Equality! Fraternity! Croissants for everybody!
