Some Light on Paris

This helps lift the gloom:

I'm going to let this stand since it does "lift the gloom" with the comedic value - but let's all remember to refrain from any political commentary. Thanks!

Sometimes some levity can help when dealing with a difficult situation and can provide a release, although it may not be everyone's sense of humor.

And this is getting OT but I found out that someone I used to work with was there. Said they noticed in the restaurant they were in that the table next to them got really quiet and the people at an adjoining table tried to explain (in somewhat limited English) that there had been an incident and told them not to walk back to their hotel/apt., and helped made sure they got there safely. Said they'll be glad to get back home.
