Hello readers please take a moment to view the following:

A 17 m yacht "Melanie" was recently destroyed in a sudden and violent
storm, please go to http://www.lostyacht.org for pictures and more
information. (this is a donation site)

First reaction was: donation, they must be kidding.. But then I read
the comments to that post... and as I disagreed with the tone (though
not the content) of quite a few, I decided to donate.

Disparaging comments on french socialism (or worse) are welcome ;-)

I'm just wondering how, with all the trauma of finding her home smashed
to pieces, Julie still managed to find the wherewithal to have herself
photographed holding said pieces. That doesn't make any sense to me.

Ruby (and neither does the part where they ask for donations!)
