Adieu to the city

April 27, 2026 By Filed Under Happy Tagged With ,

“Come, here is adieu to the city
And hurrah for the country again.
The broad road lies before me
Watered with last night’s rain.
The timbered country woos me
With many a high and bough;
And again in the shining fallows
The ploughman follows the plough.”

Robert Louis Stevenson

Preconception of Norway

April 27, 2026 By Filed Under Amused Tagged With ,

Before I visited or even did any research on Norway, I added it to my map of the gaps. This is what was in my head about the country, from pop culture or hearsay or dimly remembered school. (Of course, actually going there will change this a lot.)

Norway is up at the top of Europe.  I think it’s that big banana-shaped one.  The capitol is Oslo but I only know that from playing Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego, and according to that game it has three buildings:  A market, a library, and an airport.

I know about Vikings, and I guess there were a bunch of them in Norway. It stands to reason because there’s so much coastline. On the other hand, most of what I know about Vikings is hopelessly tangled with maps and lore from the computer game Skyrim.

There’s lots of gorgeous fjords and spacious glaciers around, and everybody talks in a sing-songy voice and says “ya” randomly in conversations.  It’s a nice place to live if you don’t mind the cold, ya.

If you don’t like hiking and skiing and you’re not a conservationist, what the hell are you doing in Norway?  Get out before we throw you out, weirdo.  Ya.

Somehow the tent stayed up all night, so I didn’t have to.
