| Apartment for rent!!! |
These are some of the apartment buildings that border the Place Gambetta, right around the corner, which is now the home to the big silver Christmas tree.

| The tan/brown building in the far back is a school. |

I love the fact that nobody has bothered the tree--no vandalism, nobody stealing the blue ornaments or the bottom branches.

| Oh dear! Santa?! |
This caught my eye. This building is at the foot of our street and those of you who know me know that I have some smart ass, tasteless comment about Santa. I will keep it to myself on this page, for now.
I wanted to see what the water level was doing after the downpour stopped. My "wicker man" is now rejoicing once again instead of calling for help. The grass and dirt look pretty scoured, though.

| Aude, looking west |
The Aude was still running high at this point (I took these on Sunday, the 24th of November) The little cement footbridge is still under water.

| Caprices de Betty |
I happened on a candy shop today on my way to the post office to mail a letter back to Brookings. I was charmed by the title--Caprices de Betty. My friend Betty can be described in many terms, but capricious would not be one of them.
