Moron Swedish for Good Morning

The Swedish are a proud people... there is an entire museum dedicated to a grand boat that sank within a few miles of shore on its maiden voyage and killed at least 30 people. The signs in the museum had a lot of "it probably looked like this" or "we aren't sure about this" but surprisingly the museum was very interesting. They made a failure into a celebration.

It continues to rain, mostly misting until Brian said he was okay with the mist, then the downpour came. During two clearings we looked like a Japanese tour group with rumors of Godzilla in the area... both of us running with our cameras out towards tall buildings and monuments. Seriously, in the few instances of sun, we took off for the old town.

In one photo today, there were guys in orange suits. Not like burnt umber... orange. I immediately thought of Geoff.

One of the most interesting things I learned today is that the executioner in a village was usually a criminal as well. When a new executioner was hired, his first job was to execute the previous executioner. Ummm... don't even bother to inquire about the pension plan in that interview.

So its only a weekend and a bonus day between us and the good ol' Cingular offices. I must admit, I have missed it and a few of you a bit. The few of you I have missed are female... except for Sumter... poor little guy... can't wait to pick him up from the kennel so he can pretend not to know me for the next week.

This is it for now... stay tuned for a best of blog...
