Carrefour is one of the world's biggest retail chains, isn't? Right behind you-know-who.<br /><br />Diogenes, I found the NPR report about the NC/SC border, and some info in print as well. Thanks, because I wasn't aware of the border project. And by the way, my mother and grandfather came from the Rock Hill/Fort Mill area, which one article mentions as "disputed" territory.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-75083504983347766152012-03-21T22:33:12.987+01:002012-03-21T22:33:12.987+01:00I love today's photos, especially the ivy.

More is predicted for tomorrow. <br />The only Carrefours I have shopped was in Chiayi, Taiwan, the first time we went to visit Glenn's daughter. She and her husband teach English.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17672462879258564321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-82169129478880198602012-03-21T18:37:02.953+01:002012-03-21T18:37:02.953+01:00Thanks, Diogenes.

Maybe there's some hope that they were actually in North Carolina.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-20500969440853610092012-03-21T18:13:09.561+01:002012-03-21T18:13:09.561+01:00The event in Toulouse was widely covered on the ne...The event in Toulouse was widely covered on the news here.<br /><br />On NPR they had a story that made me think of you. Apparently North and South Carolina are redrawing their boundaries, which were set some 250 years ago by marking trees with cuts.<br /><br />Many of these trees, apparently still exist, but as they survey with modern methods, some people are finding themselves now on a different side of the state line than before. This, I guess, has tax and school district consequences.Diogenesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-54936986342169027012012-03-21T15:00:20.267+01:002012-03-21T15:00:20.267+01:00Would love to see Vierzon!Would love to see Vierzon!Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-56884096766305383942012-03-21T14:30:18.261+01:002012-03-21T14:30:18.261+01:00Holy cow, how could you NOT be interested when Ric...Holy cow, how could you NOT be interested when Richard the Lionhearted and the Merovingians are part of it! :) Do share!<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.com
