LES MENTEURS PROFESSIONNELS<\/strong> D\u2019ailleurs, qu\u2019il l\u2019ait attrap\u00e9 ou pas, je m\u2019en fiche\u00a0: ce qui me pr\u00e9occupe, c\u2019est que le pays qui s\u2019est proclam\u00e9 gendarme de la plan\u00e8te soit gouvern\u00e9 par des gens aussi dangereux. Trump parmi d\u2019autres, particuli\u00e8rement violent.<\/strong> ET NOUS DANS TOUT \u00c7A<\/strong> J\u2019ai bien dit \u00ab\u00a0des inconnus\u00a0\u00bb. Nous avons modifi\u00e9 notre attitude avec les uns et les autres, les embrassades sont devenues bien rares et r\u00e9serv\u00e9es \u00e0 une minorit\u00e9. Mais la pr\u00e9sence de personnes que je connais ne me pose pas probl\u00e8me. Or, connue ou pas, une personne contaminante reste contaminante. Alors que signifie cette m\u00e9fiance nouvelle que je ressens\u00a0? Et qui m\u2019inciterait \u00e0 m\u2019isoler, \u00e0 \u00e9viter les rencontres\u00a0? Encore une confusion, h\u00e9las bien encourag\u00e9e.<\/strong> ALORS ON VA SORTIR QUAND M\u00caME<\/strong> C\u2019est chose faite. \u00c7a n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 facile\u00a0: les grandes enseignes avaient disparu des fa\u00e7ades, le parking \u00e9tait inaccessible, et nous \u00e9tions arriv\u00e9s l\u00e0-bas malgr\u00e9 l\u2019absence de fl\u00e9chage. Il a bien fallu nous rendre \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9vidence, Ik\u00e9a avait d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9. Depuis si longtemps que plus personne n\u2019en connaissait l\u2019ancienne adresse \u00e0 part nous. Notons au passage que cet immense local est rest\u00e9 d\u00e9saffect\u00e9 depuis.<\/strong> Les pingouins de notre esp\u00e8ce qui se retrouvent dans cette situation n\u2019ont plus qu\u2019\u00e0 sortir leur iPhone et en deux clics ils ont r\u00e9solu l\u2019\u00e9nigme. Puisque tout le monde est cens\u00e9 avoir en permanence sous la main de quoi se connecter. Paul et moi avons fait le choix de ne pas (trop) nous \u00e9quiper, choix difficile car il y a toujours d\u2019innombrables (mauvaises) raisons pour investir\u2026<\/strong> On parle d\u2019illectronisme, surtout chez les personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es\u00a0: \u00e0 quatre-vingt-treize ans, mon p\u00e8re ne peut plus faire sa d\u00e9claration d\u2019imp\u00f4ts car il n\u2019est pas connect\u00e9 sur internet (m\u00eame s\u2019il utilise un ordinateur). Son cas n\u2019est pas le pire mais ses difficult\u00e9s sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 grandes. Pour toutes sortes de raisons, un grand nombre de personnes n\u2019ont pas acc\u00e8s \u00e0 internet, ou ne savent pas s\u2019y retrouver, ce qui revient au m\u00eame. Pendant le confinement il a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s difficile de travailler pour certains enfants dont les familles ne poss\u00e8dent pas d\u2019ordinateur, ou encore un seul pour plusieurs enfants. Et c\u2019est un nouveau foss\u00e9 qui se creuse entre ceux qui savent et poss\u00e8dent, et les autres.<\/strong> Tel \u00e9tait le th\u00e8me de mes r\u00e9flexions, alors que nous cherchions o\u00f9 aller depuis ce parking \u00e0 l\u2019abandon, au milieu du d\u00e9fil\u00e9 vers les autres hypermarch\u00e9s des gens press\u00e9s dans leur voiture. Renseign\u00e9s mais \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 bien, nous nous sommes retrouv\u00e9s en pleine campagne et quand j\u2019ai pu me garer (comprendre\u00a0: quitter les voies express) nous avons d\u00e9rang\u00e9 Dom qui travaille \u00e0 domicile, qui nous a aid\u00e9s \u00e0 retrouver notre route\u2026 Nous \u00e9tions \u00e0 dix-sept kilom\u00e8tres du but.<\/strong> Nous sommes quand m\u00eame arriv\u00e9s \u00e0 destination, et apr\u00e8s avoir fait nos emplettes nous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de manger l\u00e0, il \u00e9tait tard\u00a0: comme \u00e7a, nous savons que plus rien ne nous attire dans ce magasin, ni les marchandises, ni le restaurant.<\/strong> Comme on est bien \u00e0 la campagne\u00a0! Nous en avions une nouvelle fois la preuve. Nous avons f\u00eat\u00e9 cela en ouvrant de nouveaux itin\u00e9raires. Nos v\u00e9los adapt\u00e9s au chemin se sont trouv\u00e9s \u00e0 faire du tout terrain, ce qui n\u2019\u00e9tait pas pr\u00e9vu du tout. <\/strong> Les buis tu\u00e9s par la pyrale offrent parfois le spectacle magnifique des mousses qui les habillent.<\/strong> <\/p>\n Je parlais du malaise que les m\u00e9dias ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 me faire ressentir concernant la pand\u00e9mie, les gestes barri\u00e8re, les pr\u00e9cautions prises ou pas prises. J\u2019aime bien aller au restaurant de temps en temps, un petit plaisir. Mais ce n\u2019est pas sans arri\u00e8re-pens\u00e9e que j\u2019ai r\u00e9serv\u00e9 deux places, juste apr\u00e8s la vir\u00e9e catastrophe \u00e0 Ik\u00e9a, dans un petit restau du coin\u00a0: il nous fallait la preuve qu\u2019on trouve de la vraie nourriture dans un restaurant. Bien s\u00fbr, nous y sommes all\u00e9s en v\u00e9lo, cela permet de manger le dessert sans scrupules malvenus\u2026<\/strong> POURQUOI JE D\u00c9TESTE LES JEANS D\u00c9CHIR\u00c9S<\/strong> Je d\u00e9testais d\u00e9j\u00e0 le snobisme des pantalons pr\u00e9-d\u00e9chir\u00e9s, pr\u00e9par\u00e9s je ne sais o\u00f9 dans des ateliers o\u00f9 l\u2019on travaille sans protection, d\u00e9sormais je ne pourrai plus en voir sans penser \u00e0 ce courageux gar\u00e7on qui r\u00eave de pouvoir retourner \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole.<\/strong> L\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9, le partage, la fraternit\u00e9 sont plus que jamais n\u00e9cessaires. Et moins que jamais pratiqu\u00e9s. En France, pays mieux loti que la Turquie, le Secours Populaire a vu 45 % de nouvelles demandes, venant de gens qui n\u2019avaient jusqu\u2019\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent jamais fait appel \u00e0 ses services. Mais le confinement et les suites actuelles ont priv\u00e9 de ressources beaucoup de gens. Ceux-l\u00e0 \u00e9taient je suppose int\u00e9rimaires, vacataires, ou encore ils travaillaient au noir\u00a0: ils n\u2019ont pas droit au ch\u00f4mage ou \u00e0 d\u2019autres aides. La pauvret\u00e9 grandit pendant que les riches s\u2019enrichissent. C\u2019est pour cela que je parle d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9, de partage. Non seulement l\u2019ISF devrait \u00eatre r\u00e9tabli, mais les fortunes personnelles devraient \u00eatre limit\u00e9es. Je ne suis pas la seule \u00e0 dire que l\u2019argent doit \u00eatre gagn\u00e9, m\u00e9rit\u00e9, et que l\u2019argent ne doit pas rapporter d\u2019argent.<\/strong> En d\u2019autres termes, je ne consid\u00e8re pas du tout de la m\u00eame fa\u00e7on une fortune gagn\u00e9e par son travail ou en boursicotant. <\/strong> UNE FIN ABRUPTE<\/strong> Balade au bord du Rh\u00f4ne \u2014 Walk along the Rh\u00f4ne BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!

<\/a>BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!<\/strong>
\nSur le site du gouvernement il y a un tutoriel pour fabriquer des masques. Youtube \u00e9tant d\u00e9sactiv\u00e9, il faut, je cite, \u00ab\u00a0autoriser le d\u00e9p\u00f4t de cookies pour acc\u00e9der \u00e0 cette fonctionnalit\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb. Sans avoir le choix de refuser\u00a0! Moi qui passe du temps maintenant \u00e0 refuser l\u2019installation de cookies, sachant que malheureusement, mon refus peut ne pas \u00eatre respect\u00e9, mais je fais ce que je peux, eh bien je n\u2019irai pas regarder la vid\u00e9o. Non mais.<\/strong>
\nOn the government website there is a tutorial for making masks. Youtube being disabled, it is necessary, I quote, \u00ab\u00a0to authorize the deposit of cookies to access this functionality\u00a0\u00bb. Without having the choice to refuse! Now I spend time refusing the installation of cookies, knowing that unfortunately my refusal may not be honored, but I do what I can, well I will not watch the video. Or what next.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nNon d\u00e9cid\u00e9ment, je n\u2019arrive pas \u00e0 croire que Trump a chop\u00e9 le Covid-19. C\u2019est comme le gar\u00e7on qui criait tout le temps \u00ab\u00a0au loup\u00a0\u00bb, pour s\u2019amuser et faire courir les villageois\u00a0: le jour o\u00f9 le loup est arriv\u00e9, personne n\u2019a boug\u00e9 et le gar\u00e7on s\u2019est fait croquer. \u00c0 force de mentir, plus personne ne vous croit.<\/strong>
\nPROFESSIONAL LIARS<\/strong><\/span>
\nNo really, I can’t believe Trump got the Covid-19. It’s like the boy who shouted \u00ab\u00a0wolf\u00a0\u00bb all the time, to have fun and make the villagers run: the day the wolf arrived, no one moved and the boy got bitten. By dint of lying, no one believes you anymore.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nBesides, whether he caught it or not, I don’t care: what worries me is that the country that has proclaimed itself the world’s policeman is ruled by such dangerous people. Trump among others, particularly violent.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nLa semaine derni\u00e8re, en opposition avec ce climat de haine, j\u2019insistais encore une fois sur le lien social. Plus le temps passe plus j\u2019y accorde de l\u2019importance et les d\u00e9rives \u00e9tats-uniennes ne me donnent pas tort. La pand\u00e9mie a \u00e9veill\u00e9 en moi une m\u00e9fiance inattendue vis-\u00e0-vis des inconnus\u00a0: je ne me sens pas tout \u00e0 fait \u00e0 l\u2019aise si quelqu\u2019un est trop proche de moi \u00e0 mon go\u00fbt. D\u2019autant plus que les gens, lass\u00e9s de ces pr\u00e9cautions, sont nombreux maintenant \u00e0 refuser les gestes barri\u00e8re.<\/strong>
\nAND WHAT ABOUT US<\/strong><\/span>
\nLast week, in opposition to this climate of hatred, I once again insisted on the social bond. The more time passes, the more importance I attach to it and the American excesses do not prove me wrong. The pandemic has awakened in me an unexpected distrust of unknown people: I don’t quite feel comfortable if someone is too close to me for my liking. Especially since many people, tired of these precautions, are now in large numbers to refuse barrier gestures.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nI did say \u00ab\u00a0unknown people\u00a0\u00bb. We have changed our attitude with each other, hugs have become very rare and reserved for a minority. But the presence of people I know is not a problem for me. However, known or not, a contaminating person remains a contaminant. So what does this new distrust that I feel mean? And who would encourage me to isolate myself, to avoid dating? Another confusion, unfortunately well encouraged.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nDepuis longtemps je souhaitais remplacer nos assiettes bien endommag\u00e9es par des neuves. On doit pouvoir acheter des assiettes partout, mais notre mod\u00e8le vient d\u2019Ik\u00e9a, elles nous conviennent. Malgr\u00e9 toutes les r\u00e9ticences expliqu\u00e9es dans les lignes pr\u00e9c\u00e9dentes, il fallait se d\u00e9cider un jour \u00e0 retourner dans ce magasin.<\/strong>
\nSO WE’LL GO OUT ANYWHERE<\/strong><\/span>
\nFor a long time I wanted to replace our damaged plates with new ones. We should be able to buy plates everywhere, but our model comes from Ikea, they suit us. Despite all the reluctance explained in the previous lines, we had to decide one day to return to this store.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nIt’s done. It was not easy: the big signs had disappeared from the facades, the parking lot was inaccessible, and we had arrived there despite the absence of signs. We had to face the facts, Ikea had moved. For so long that no one knew the old address except us. It should be noted in passing that this huge room has remained abandoned since.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe penguins like us who find themselves in this situation just have to pull out their iPhone and with two clicks they have solved the riddle. Since everyone is supposed to have something to connect to at all times. Paul and I made the choice not to equip ourselves (too much), a difficult choice because there are always countless (bad) reasons to invest …<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nWe talk about \u00ab\u00a0d\u2019illectronisme\u00a0\u00bb (someone who would be illiterate, concerning computers), especially among the elderly: at ninety-three, my father can no longer file his tax return because he is not connected to the internet (even if he uses a computer). His case is not the worst, but his difficulties are already great. For all sorts of reasons, a lot of people don’t have access to the internet, or don’t know how to navigate, which is the same thing. During confinement it was very difficult to work for some children whose families did not have a computer, or even one for several children. And there is a new gap that is widening between those who know and have, and the rest.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nThat was the theme of my thoughts, as we searched for where to go from that abandoned parking lot, in the middle of the parade to the other hypermarkets of people in a hurry in their cars. Informed but half well, we found ourselves in the countryside and when I was able to park (understand: leave the expressways) we disturbed Dom who works at home, who helped us find our way … We were at seventeen kilometers from the goal.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nAnyway, we arrived at our destination, and after doing our shopping we decided to eat there, it was late: that way, we know that nothing more attracts us to this store, neither the goods, nor the restaurant.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nHow good we feel in the countryside! We had proof once again. We celebrated this by opening new routes. Our trail-adapted bikes happened to be off-road, which was not expected at all.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe box trees killed by the moth sometimes offer the magnificent spectacle of the mosses which dress them.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Une autre fois, j\u2019ai particip\u00e9 \u00e0 une sortie dans le cadre de la f\u00eate de la nature\u00a0: une \u00ab\u00a0visite d\u2019une exploitation foresti\u00e8re respectant le couvert forestier et\u00a0 sa biodiversit\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9tait propos\u00e9e. Cela s\u2019adressait essentiellement aux forestiers, bon, j\u2019ai fait une jolie balade. Elle se situe dans les bois qui ont servi pendant la guerre \u00e0 alimenter les gazog\u00e8nes, et je suis contente car aujourd\u2019hui la for\u00eat est exploit\u00e9e avec discernement. Les arbres marqu\u00e9s d\u2019un rond rouge ne doivent pas \u00eatre abattus, les propri\u00e9taires font des visites r\u00e9guli\u00e8res de leur for\u00eat et ont un calendrier pr\u00e9cis pour les abattages. Aujourd\u2019hui, cette coupe ne produit que du bois de chauffage, mais dans quelques d\u00e9cennies si les arbres ont pouss\u00e9 comme pr\u00e9vu, on les abattra comme bois d\u2019\u0153uvre. Les branches sont entass\u00e9es pour se d\u00e9composer et nourrir le sol.<\/strong>
\nAnother time, I took part in an outing as part of the F\u00eate de la Nature: a \u00ab\u00a0visit to a forest operation respecting the forest cover and its biodiversity\u00a0\u00bb was offered. This was mostly aimed at foresters, well, I had a nice ride. It is located in the woods that were used during the war to fuel gasifiers, and I am happy because today the forest is used with discernment. Trees marked with a red circle must not be felled, the owners make regular visits to their forest and have a precise schedule for the fellings. Today that cut only produces firewood, but in a few decades if the trees have grown as expected, they will be felled as lumber. The branches are piled up to decompose and nourish the soil.<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nI was talking about the unease that the media managed to make me feel about the pandemic, the barrier gestures, the precautions taken or not taken. I like to go to a restaurant once in a while, a little pleasure. But it was not without ulterior motives that I reserved two places, just after the disaster trip to Ikea, in a small restaurant in the area: we needed proof that we can find real food in a restaurant. Of course, we went there by bike, it allows us to eat the unwelcome unscrupulous dessert …<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nUn qui ne va pas du tout au restaurant\u00a0: ce gar\u00e7on de douze ans vu dans le journal t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9 d\u2019Arte. Fils a\u00een\u00e9, il remplace son p\u00e8re disparu en travaillant douze heures par jour dans un garage, un boulot tr\u00e8s dur qui lui rapporte bien trop peu. Il porte un jean qui a connu des jours meilleurs, mais lui, il ne l\u2019a pas achet\u00e9 dans une boutique \u00e0 la mode. Sa famille vit dans une cave sans eau ni \u00e9lectricit\u00e9. \u00c7a se passe aujourd\u2019hui, en Syrie. Alors les d\u00e9chirures de son pantalon, il ne les a pas faites expr\u00e8s, elles sont l\u00e0 parce qu\u2019il utilise toujours le m\u00eame\u2026<\/strong>
\nWHY I HATE RIPPED JEANS<\/strong><\/span>
\nOne who doesn’t go to a restaurant at all: the twelve-year-old boy seen on Arte\u2019s TV news. Eldest son, he replaces his deceased father by working twelve hours a day in a garage, a very hard job that earns him far too little. He wears jeans that have seen better days, but he didn’t buy them in a trendy store. His family lives in a cellar without water or electricity. It\u2019s happening today in Syria. So the rips in his pants, he didn’t do them on purpose, they’re there because he always uses the same one …<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nI already hated the snobbery of pre-ripped pants, prepared somewhere in workshops where people work without protection, now I will not be able to see any more without thinking of this brave boy who dreams of being able to go back to school.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nEquality, sharing, fraternity are more necessary than ever. And less than ever practiced. In France, a country better off than Turkey, Secours Populaire saw 45% of new requests, coming from people who had never used its services until now. But the confinement and current aftermath have deprived many people of resources. These were I suppose temporary workers, or they were moonlighting: they are not entitled to unemployment or other aid. Poverty grows as the rich get richer. That\u2019s why I\u2019m talking about equality, about sharing. Not only should the ISF (wealth tax) be restored, but personal fortunes should be limited. I’m not the only one who says that money should be earned, deserved, and money should not make money.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nIn other words, I do not see a fortune earned by work or by trading in the same way at all.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nSur ce, je m\u2019en vais retrouver mon v\u00e9lo qui piaffe d\u2019impatience.<\/strong>
\nAN ABRUPT END<\/strong><\/span>
\nThereupon, I’ll find my bike pawing impatiently.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
