and re:. ... for our quatorze juilletiers, La Rivière du hibou. I must admit that I'm not sure what this means. Why was the river full of owls on the 14th? Does it have anything to do with Bastille Day? Excuse my ignorance.

The Incident at Owl Creek Bridge, which was first shown on US TV as a Twilight Zone episode was a French short movie (with barely any dialog) called La Rivière du hibou. So, I was just free-associating on Bastille Day. Not your ignorance, my obfuscation. To further complicate things, Uhu, is a German company that makes adhesives. Uhu means a kind of owl.
