No rioting in Saint Denis

Good morning... had a bit of a lie-in this morning, now at the Cafe Francais for the internet (and their hot chocolate isn't too bad either). Going to work in town today and hang out with M.

You may have heard about rioting in the northern suburbs of Paris, and putting that together with the fact that I work in a northern suburb of Paris, you might be concerned. So just as a public service announcement: There is no rioting in Saint Denis, where I work. The rioting is indeed in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis, which is indeed the same department Saint Denis is in, but Aulnay-Sous-Bois, the epicenter, is as far from Saint Denis as Saint Denis is from central Paris.
