Bus
When I returned to NC, and got in the bus to come home from the airport, the bus driver waited until I had my bags on board and I was seated before starting up. Hard to imagine that happening very often if taking the bus to or from the airport in Nice, as nice as a the drivers normally are.

France Votes Its Discontents - NYTimes.com
What moves politics in France compared to the US? Sure, there are those who think they know France better than they know themselves but I find her always to be more complicated, just as is the case here in the US -- it's always more complicated than it seems. How do we learn from France in this context and how do we all help both France and the US avoid situations that don't have to be or that could be resolved? It seems to me that the final result in the French presidential election is going to matter more both to our two countries and to Europe than we think it will today, and, in any case, we are not very well prepared to address those things that ought to be done depending on which candidate wins.
