Paris Memoirs:
Eiffel Tower
Kiki darling,
Besides you, the Eiffel Tower must be the greatest
symbol of Paris so far. And
the amazing thing is, you can actually buy little scale models of it
from fine arts craftsmen almost anywhere in Paris. But wait, that's
not all. You can buy fluffy, stuffed Eiffel towers with smiley faces
on them!
I heard rumors
that a Texas oil millionaire wanted to have the tower dismantled and
shipped to the Texas panhandle. The French wouldn't cooperate but I
think they might have changed their minds if they could've visualized
what that thang would look like, standin' thar in the smack-dab middle
of Muleshoe. Yessiree, it's a nice addition to any skyline.
Adoringly,
Url Ratz

A view of the Eiffel
tower from the Pont d' lena, one of 36 Paris bridges that cross
the Seine river. The sign says "J - 293." That means 293
days until the year 2000. Either the Parisians are really worried
about Y2K or they're really getting ready for a party.
