I have to admit to a visceral dislike of the French. I can't explain it, and I'm not real proud of it, but I am a patriot, and the French have always bugged me.
However, like all Americans, I hate an ingrate. And the French deserve my gratitude.
Both of the bikes in my house are of French origin. My wife loves her Peugeot, and my Vitus is deservedly a classic. Thank you for our bikes, France.
Next, on the advice of the forum, we bought a French press last week. It's made by a company called "Bonjour," and the brochure said that it would allow us to enjoy the morning the way 57 million French do every day. We were not disappointed. Any culture that produces something as elegant as the French press is a culture to be admired.
Viva la France!
ps- Dave, we got the Peets on Monday, thanks a lot. We're looking forward to grinding it later this week.
