The Seine is high again today, with a thrilling flush of wind lapping against the quais. (Apologies to Lawrence Durrell.) On Sunday, motorized traffic is banned; bikes and Nikes have right-of-way.
I'm here with well-known Seattle Slogger Dominic, who brings along a fresh eye and an absentee Viaduct ballot. We find the right spot for the money shot, Notre Dame in the background. Click!
All that's left is sending it in. The ballot? No and Hell no, the post!
Would leave it at that except for reaction from "Fnarf," whoever the hell that is, railing against "phonies" who opine after an hour on the scene. Does he know that Dominic's first hours, days, weeks, were, in fact, spent in France? (His parents were living in the Dordogne at the time.) That this is his sixth trip to Paris? C'mon. Within a couple of hours, 30 comments! Not a record, but close, especially when you think of the distances.
