Subject: RE: The 14th of July
I thought maybe it was "Red", as in rouge, rojo, or "An Maidrin Rua" (the little red fox). Accordingly, re Rue's birthday coinciding with Woody's *and* with the Revolutionary anniversary, I wuz gonna make some kinda grand-unification Red reference. But then I thought Naaah, too politically provocative. So, I didn't. :)

However, I'm told that one time my Anglophone father-in-law, visiting France, asked in French a question which translated approximately as "How do you get to Rue Street?" (In Mexico he is said to have inquired, "Where is the building? :)

Ruefully,
