1. “I think they were really weasels disguised as a cat and dog. After I signed the contract they disappeared.” 2. In a final humiliation of the French at the surrender ceremony at Compiègne, the Germans sent household pets rather than members of the diplomatic corps. 3. **404** looks like a container ship in between the piers and deck of a bridge. Coincidence? I think not. ---

Sorry about that. I tried using AI to generate an image. It showed up when I posted but now it’s kaput. It was originally a cat and dog, with stacks of papers, at a desk. The dog wore reading glasses. I’ll find another permanent image. ---
