see Notre Dame from her run route. People have been approaching her on
how they can help and she said something will be set up to accept donations.
I have to question how much insurance money will be available from both
the construction company and the church itself.


Effile Tower? Where is THAT?



Donnie will say that is the Queens spelling.

Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is on fire.

Looks like one whole section and steeple is destroyed.

Sad.



Based on images and video on TV it looks like some repair or
construction work was going on. Scaffolding surrounds the
area on fire.


Contractors starting fires is far from unheard of. You may have some
welding or brazing going on or you might have an electrical problem.
Solvents can make a little fire a big one pretty fast and a lot of the
wood in that building is centuries old.
Muslims attacking Catholic churches is not unheard of either. They're calling it an accident now.
We'll see.

Where is Harry? Was this just a pro choice demonstration that got out
of hand? ;-)


Look at the date. IRS, perhaps?


Runnin', you reckon?
