1. Pardon my ignorance
Although I know basically what Bastille Day is, what is the significance of the blanket?

Thanks.

2. Madam LaFarge and the others used to sit in the front row knitting
and watching the beheadings. :)

Today is my dad and nephew's birthdays. These two fine democrats and veterens are 77 and 27 respectively.

VIVA LA BASTILLE!

Yes, its time we had our own french revolution and took control of the
country away from the corporate aristocrats for the people.
