What a treat Paris has been!!!
Transportation all over Paris is easy and cheap. The metro subway and the buses run every few minutes and they move pretty fast. The riding public cannot be more polite and considerate.

Rationals live in a world of precision – especially in research and word-smithing – to the point that the rest of us seem imprecise and are, in fact, imprecise by nature. And I believe we Idealists may be the “worst”. I see the care with which David Keirsey (the son) and Kip Parent do their research, reporting, and hypothesizing. And I see, in contrast, how ea…
