thanks for nothing, hitler!

things are a lot better than were previously reported. i’ve got a plan to deal with the prefectards at the police station, involving a kind woman (who works for the région d’île-de-france) who offered me her aid.

whenever i end up in some kind of financially-stable position with some kind of real-estate to my name, i’ll make sure that she is welcome to treat my home as hers anytime.

today, i went to le havre, france’s principal container port. normally, i would have taken photos, but i learned, much to my disappointment early this morning that the batteries in my camera were dead and that i wouldn’t really have a chance to buy fresh ones. in any case, it’s probably best that i spare you that experience, as le havre is (mostly) one fantastically-ugly town.
