Hi Katha,

Well, I suppose if you're going to have a reason to be keen on France, it might as well be micro-cars. Good, at least, for parking. Another thing we have in common-another reason for Fred Barnes to think we're communist subversives-is that we don't drive. I'm worse than you, actually, and never even learned. If you put me on front of a wheel, I wouldn't really know what to do. So my attitude to cars is purely aesthetic. I'm afraid the bubble things don't do it for me.

I'm in Philly right now-it's a large city somewhere between DC and New York-and have yet to caffeinate. Be right back.

Andrew
