103 in Paris! Mon Dieu!

Shocked by the news today! My memory of Paris in mid September through October is wonderful! Open the windows! And the beginning of the Paris Opera Season! Ballet! This is from our 4th floor apt. (they start at 0 which explained the 52, 300 year old oak steps) on Rue Ferdinand Duval in the Marais.

Seeing the news today, while in the comfort of my apt., in Caroline du Nord, where air conditioning is a given and rare in Paris – how awful with no relief for Le Parisien. Tar Heels know! We’d be nude! Okay, maybe that would work 😉

Eureka II! Another Use!

My apt. complex announced mandatory and new Parking Permit Window Decals. They required proof of current vehicle registration and return of the previous Decal. That part worried me. How to remove an adhesive decal that had been baked on by the Sun for two years?

But again, inspired by the recent events at the Reflecting Pool In D.C., I used this and a Q-Tip. Worked! Clean windshield too! Glue be gone! Tow Truck be gone!
