Much partying--both formal and informal. French Consulate gets involved big-time. Like Mardis Gras, everybody should experience the New Orleans 14 July experience at least once On a more somber note,Mike M, Zane and G-man are all right. It was not for nothing that Robespierre named his deus ex machina "The Committee on Public Safety." ANYTHING for public safety, Health, and ameolieration of the climate, eh? Remember, it's all for the 'CHILRUNS! ......Compliments of the Obamassiah... Needless to say, New Orleans knows how to celebrate Bastille Day right. Much partying–both formal and informal.
