Lions and icons and statues
Auguste Cain
LION de NUBIE et sa PROIE
Walking around with my iPhone, I decided to capture the many beautiful statues here in Paris. Here’s one from Auguste Cain in Jardin du Luxembourg. He has several statues around the city, and I love them all. Next time I’ll try when there’s sun.
Paris with 2 ladies and a selfie at sunset
sometimes because I live here in Paris, I forget the fun people have taking photos of their adventures.
These 2 young ladies were having a great time on the bridge at sunset and let me photograph them. Thanks and bon voyage (this was a while ago, and I just ran across the photo).
Portfolio - Victoria Silvstedt
Victoria Silvstedt:
Since tabloids don’t, she maintains her image on her site and social media, principally using Instagram revealing her beauty and glamorous life.
Portfolio - Studio Rituel
Run by the incomparable Verena, and with so many great instructors, she needed a dual language site for all her disciplines.
Currently undergoing reconstruction for a more modern look which I’ll show soon, it reaches out to English speakers in Paris and around the world who visit, as well as the Parisians that enjoy working out.
Portfolio - philosophie of wellness
Here’s a dual language site for a beauty who teaches Pilates, Gyrokinesis, general health and wellness.

Wine by the Bandol
Bandol with a friend
L’homme du midi. Wines from southern France, like Bandol are my favorites. Many people would like this one. I can’t describe it like an aficionado, so please try it.
Red and though meaty, we ate it with chicken and butternut squash. Silky smooth and not too young. If you find you like the cépage or grape variety, then we should talk about others.
All this American could do was bring something to wash it down.
Another wonderful lunch with my friends.
xmas thief?
French Santa is heavy, can't climb, and that tiny sack... Gold Santa? Really, is there a label on it, too?
Cute when Americans complain in France
we saw the cutest thing....
a young American woman complained about how she waited for service at the phone store.
I should complain to her about her complaining as it wasted my time, too. Welcome to France - grab a baguette and get used to it.
Butts
from the Mayor of Paris in a tweet: (translated by Google for us)
Ann Hildago says,
One butt is enough to pollute 500 liters of water! In Paris, smokers must take responsible actions. 24,500 fines were imposed in 2017 on those who persist in throwing their butts on the ground. Behaviors must change! #Cleanliness
Me:
Paris looks cleaner than when I arrived, and I see people who use designated places for cigarettes in Paris. It seems that more people are trying to keep the city cleaner.
Lost iPhone
goodbye... my stolen phone connected to a network and was erased.
Good to know. Remember , if you carry valuable information on your phone (which many of us do)
make sure you protect your data, not
just your phone. thanks for the good news Apple.
Mac Docky Dock
My Macs don't always reveal the dock when I want to see it. I also don't want to see the dock all the time. No, I don't mean a doctor...
I prefer keeping the dock hidden and only seeing it when I roll over it. Since that doesn't happen, I can become frustrated, infuriated, and need less caffeine.
So being the brite boy I am, I found a shortcut combo -
Function + Control + F3
and voila, my dock reveals itself in all its splendor and I can use the Arrow Keys to move around and act like I'm using the Right Click.
[I need a video or a Gif to show this]
18 years and still fighting
If you haven’t heard this passionate speech - as one more time the 1st responders are forced to grovel for health care as they wither and die, then it’s a good time to do it. Thankfully John Stewart speaks to Congress (those that showed up).
Thank you all for saving NYC and the spirit of America, and Congress should always do the right thing and help the people who helped us.
Tell your Congress person.
Minou
Some of my favorite photos of Minou. He looks cute but let’s say he wasn’t the sweetest cat. He was a NYC stray kitten from 1st and 35th where I found him on my walks after Loki had passed.
They never live long enough but at least Minou lived well with Mom, terrorizing the other cats and critters. Katrina made us his designated parents even though I tried my best to have him adopted. Luckily, he adopted us and then found NYC wasn’t the right atmosphere for such a punk. He needed freedom to roam.
I’ll never forget our mornings, Minou, when you’d lay just out of reach - I’d always pretend to do something else, then grab you and hold you firmly in my lap till you started purring from all the attention.
And still you’d find a way to slip away, like today. Kisses Minou, and thanks Mom, as always.
Undiscovered Book?
Did my Aubile account find a hidden gem unknown to the world?
for some reason I’m seeing book titles with authors other than the ones who wrote the book. Can you guess the right author with the right book?
Better yet, would you like this book written?
I think I’d love it.
