ALAIN

Alain on the patio.

It's great to have a friend who can read your mind.  I had read about this booklet and I wanted to get it, but it wasn't on Kindle.  Alain brought it for us, unbidden and most welcome.   Hessel is a 93 year-old Frenchman, a WWII resistance fighter and concentration camp survivor.  In this pamphlet he's trying to fire up younger generations to, among other things, reject the "insolent, selfish power of money and markets and defend the social values of modern democracy."  It's a best-seller in France, and, as you can see, it's been translated into various languages.  I'm so happy to be able to read it.  Don't expect me to get too outraged, though.  Been there, done that.  It didn't work.  As Jerry Garcia once said, a door opened briefly, then shut again.

Here is Carlos, as promised.  Thank you, Alain.

And he brought three more films.  We have one left to watch.

No Netflix in Mexico, so we are fortunate to have personal delivery of new and interesting films.
