Also, one of France’s largest retailers has cut back how late it’s opened on Tuesdays.

The battle goes on…

      Me, too. The best I could manage today was a bottle of Karlovacko, a not-too-bad Croatian beer. It would have been more fun if accompanied by an oompah band and a drinking song or two? Ha!
