Happy Bastille Day!

It is le quatorze juillet, it must be Bastille Day! As I have a bit of French in me, I will be celebrating in honor of this day too. To all my French friends, hope you are enjoying champagne, Bordeaux, Montrachet, and all the rest with the great food of France.

Wish I could be there!

The above video is by a third party found on YouTube that I thought would catch the essence of this day. The video as it is by a third party, is subjuect to downtime, termination, or changes in code.

Cheers then Enjoy!
