This week I decided to try my hand at beinig a "hair dresser". Darren has been needinig a haircut for awhile, and it hasn't worked out...besides not wanting to spend 20.- (swiss francs). So Darren patiently let me cut hiis hair...and it actually came out ok.

Swiss BBQ

Yesterday Darren asked about having a bbq, so this morning we all jumped into the pickup and went off to the snowy forest to find some wood for the fire. It took four tries and three newspapers to get the wood dried enough to start burning. No, it wasn't your typical Brazilian churrasco, but it was very tasty and quite worth the effort.

Perspective — Horrific storm damage in Sweden (With Pic!)

You’ve got to see this one!

With all the news on TV lately about the extreme weather conditions affecting the East Coast of the US, the mud slides in the Middle East and South America, the flood that made it’s mark on Southern England, along with the dire predictions made by such films as The Day After Tomorrow, we shouldn’t forget that Sweden has its share of devastating weather too.

Classy postings

Sol has said so well a lot of how I am feeling about the current events. One day I'll be a writer and express these fellings myself...before someone else steals my thunder...
