re: #157 imp_62

This is our second go around following the first round last week; I worry about the spring melt, but it’s too early to think about that. BTW I read a funny statistic today: 650 people are annually hospitalized in Paris after slipping on dog crap.

Must all be tourists. If I remember correctly, Paris has “curbing” laws, but in the past, at least up to the last time I was there (Jan. 2007), there wasn’t much evidence of the French obeying the law. The per capita dog ownership is much higher in France than many other countries. Leash laws are not well observed either. And many restaurants have no problem with a patron being in their dog.

But don’t ask for a doggy bag… it’s frowned upon.
