Some people can do this sunlight 4 shadow type of things well. And some of us, well, judge for yourself:
Not as nice as the swains I’ll say. But here is one I do like:
Its kind of a cliche, but I still like it. So there, art snobs.

A real first
I’ve never actually seen marzipan used as a medium of artistic expression:
Its the white stuff in the “art.” I’ve debated with my friends about the relative taste merits of marzipan, but never about its use in art. They would all be in agreement that it was perfectly acceptable.

I’m going outside to feed the Swains
Yes, I know I spelled swan wrong, but as usually with me, there is a story. See, look at the animals:
When I see these animals, I always say “hello swains.” Why is that? Well, during one of my many many many college residential life situations I lived in a place located next to what my friend and I called “the mud hole.” It was a murky body of man made water and in it floated these swans. One of the young men who lived on our side of the mud hole, used to go scuba diving in there.
And, he’d sit out there feeding the “swains.” I’m going to feed the “swains” in the mud hole.
So, hence forth “hello swains.”
Sweden is a great country
Anyone who knows me and reads this thing, knows of my affection for the Scandinavian region. They have all taken it upon themselves to learn English and people of all ages are exposed to the finest literary works of the English speaking world. For example:
Just the photographs in this book made me think, it is, like the outside indicates, not for children. Or possibly the eyes of many an adult.
Here is this fine literature, close up:
I get the feeling the English wasn’t too complicated in this book, so maybe there was a demand to translate it, just so people could get all the details about the band. That’s kind of sad and interesting at the same time.
Pilsner korv
What is Pilsnerkorv? I have no idea, but it has to be something pretty serious because this sour fellow is on the can for this mystery substance:
And I just liked the image on this container of Sardines:
I have this image of these hard living Swedes eating some of these Sardines, before or after a meal of Pilsner korv. Sounds, yeah, um, yummy….
In the grand, continuing Swedish tradition…..
Of the mysterious pairing of a random American state and a product that has nothing at all to do with it, I give you Virginia peanuts:
Now I’ve either been here too long, or there is some kind of weird, skewed logic to this, but I saw this and thought to myself “I’ve eaten peanuts in Virginia.” Possibly this makes sense, but then peanuts come from Georgia. Senators who refer to Indian campaign workers as “Makaka” come from Virginia.
Oh and I also love the American Graffiti kind of imagery on the front of the bag. Look at us, we just got back from the drive in movie! Love it!
Here, I have a couple of questions
I am always amazed in this country about how signs in English can be so weird, though most people here know English pretty well. Case in point:
Are they actually making a man over there? I hope they don’t forget to include the inability to return a phone call and the ability to pop up in your life at exactly the wrong time.
And then we got “logical skincare:”
Is there such a thing as illogical skincare? What would illogical skincare? I guess we aren’t meant to know.

Pretty pretty Stockholm made prettier by the night time fog:

Fog or not fog, a beautiful place.
Do you have any idea how hard it was to achieve detente?
I mean how much hard work did the superpowers have to put into achieving detente?
But here, apparently, it is quite easy:
Why didn’t Willy Brandt realize he could achieve Ostpolitik with the right drink and muffin combination?
