A dix heures du matin, d'en haut a la basilique, Notre Dame de la Garde, on pouvait entendre les klaxons puissants des gros CMA CGM bateaux Panamax qui payee homage au CMA CGM patron decede, Jacques Saade, fondateur et patron de CMA CGM.

Le son des grands klaxons etait mystique...une espece de chant funebre hante. Le son se reverbere partout. Mouvante. Sensible. — at Vieux Port (Marseille).

I am always a great fan of the World Cups, in part because of the ways in which a national culture is on display in the conduct of players and fans.

This article addresses that topic. I pass it along to you for your role as “senior observer of cultural differences”, and also because you have professed particular respect for Japan in some of our conversations.

Or, in short, I enjoyed this quick insight and thought you might also.

"After defeat, Japan's World Cup team leaves behind a spotlessly clean locker room and a 'thank you' note"

Bishop,

U r one lucky man. I enjoy reading you words and wisdom. Wish I had more time to do it myself. Current demands of my time preclude it for now. Once Coco turns 2 or 3 hope to change all that. Just celebrated year 1.

Safe travels and happy 4th.
