sat for a bit in the Place getting some very expensive sparkling Perrier -- I

think it was 6 E -- watching three military men with machine guns circling the

pyramid, which, not to be too jaded, definitely looked better in The De

Reader comment: "glad you noticed the machine guns. I live near the Louvres and go

through it all the time. I find the machine guns are an affront,

Parisians are also abhored, but how to stop them?"
