French eh?

I ordered something the other day from across the pond in France. I got an email confirming my order (or at least it looks that way) in French. Here's a snippet:

Votre établissement bancaire nous a donné l'autorisation de prélever le montant de vos achats dans un délai de 7 jours. Pendant ce délai, nous pouvons être amenés à vous demander des renseignements complémentaires avant de débiter votre compte (confirmation d'adresse, N° de téléphone, pièce d'identité, etc.) . Une fois cette période de 7 jours dépassée, nous n'aurons plus la possibilité de valider votre paiement et nous serons malheureusement contraints d'annuler votre commande. Dans tous les cas vous serez informé par email de l'état de traitement de votre commande.

Allrigty then. There was some other text there that led me to believe my order went through. I finally received a shipping notice IN ENGLISH today which confirmed my thoughts. It all went off without a hitch. Got my tracking number and everything. Sweet.

Looks like fall's finally here. It was nice and cool most of the day today. I hope it stays like this for awhile instead of just going from blazing hot to freezing cold. This is also one of the times of the year that I get some kind of dibilitating cold that knocks me on my ass for a few days. At any rate, I'm still going along with my regular daily does of echinacea to try and boost my immune system. I've been taking it for several months now and so far, it seems to be working.

Speaking of ordering stuff, Lesa recevied a drawing autographed by Picasso that she had won on ebay. It came from Germany. She collects that sort of stuff.
