My thoughts in response to a relative asking me how things are going in Nice after the Paris attacks

"The response here in Nice is about what you are seeing from Paris and you yourself experienced after the Boston Marathon. It’s kind of a concentric circle thing, I think. In the center are all those people who died, followed by those who are still in intensive care, and those injured. After that, it is those nearby who, like you, saw the worst of what happened and felt the fear. One or two of them from Nice and environs were in Paris and they have returned to tell their stories and to cope with their feelings. Then it is the families of those people killed or injured, and their friends. Here in Nice, we lost no one directly, but some of those who died were from towns not too far away and there are a few people who knew a couple of them, but not many. So the next ring are those people who frighten easily and I feel for them, because there are too many people here sealed off from others to begin with and this makes them even more remote. I am not sure what anyone can really do to help other than to think of those people and accept how frightened they are. But for most everyone else, it is a question of disbelief, anger, resentment, determination and concern. A lot of kids here are getting extra attention and more time with parents and teachers to talk about it all. But I think the pendulum, as this third day of national mourning starts, is beginning to swing toward let’s show this small group that they will not force us to change our lives. I heard a call this morning to make reservations to eat at a bistro, anywhere, today, preferably on a sidewalk to show determination not to be intimidated.

What worries me most is the likely political overreaction to what happened. After all, the perpetrators were only a small group of terrible people, perhaps encouraged or even directed by another group perhaps in Syria, but we don’t know for sure. This is not the Germans invading again as in WWII, and as you have seen me say, these were a series of heinous criminal acts and what we need most right now is for all the thousands of law enforcement officers involved in the investigation to do their jobs, identify and prosecute any survivors who are culpable, and THEN, and ONLY THEN, embark on new measures to help better address some of the underlying issues that permit or foment such actions. We should not move to deprive the rest of France of its rights and liberties which is where the government seems headed.

In a word, the state of things is confusion, but still with the potential to the do the right thing but the potential, too, to do many wrong things. Future days will tell us which."

Yes, let's focus on why the people who did these awful things were able to do so, and far less on condemning so many simply because they adhere to the same religion.

Une ossature bois permet de réduire de 90 % l’impact CO2 du gros œuvre d’une maison  individuelle par rapport à une ossature en maçonnerie traditionnelle.

Pour construire l’ossature d’un logement standard avec du béton, il faut brûler l’équivalent de 10 000 litres de pétrole, soit autant qu’une voiture durant toute sa vie. Pour construire l’ossature d’un logement standard avec du bois, (mais quand même avec ce qu’il faut de béton pour les fondations), seulement l’équivalent de 1 000 litres de pétrole est nécessaire.

En choisissant une solution bois pour votre logement, vous assurez le déploiement d’une filière de construction local et durable et allégez très significativement votre bilan Carbone."
