In France it used to
be customary to drive through cities with just the position lights on.


'Twas so in 1994.


What really scared me was when a guy polished off a whole 700ml bottle
of Cote du Rhone with lunch, walked across the parking lot, hopped into
a 40-ton rig and fired her up.


So ?

Well, he didn't have a big lunch with it. Just a small sandwich plus two
or three hand-rolled Gauloises.

One of the staples over there, tobacco in blue pouches from which you
hand roll cigarettes. Once in a restaurant they had a "French breakfast"
on the menu and this is not a joke, I've seen someone order it: A huge
bowl of cafe au lait, one croissant, some butter, a Gauloises pre-rolled
by the chef, matches. IOW the surgeon general's nightmare.
