      I know so many marriages can end up very toxic leaving animosity between the two individuals by the time they part ways, and especially when the marriage ends when one person wants to be with someone else while the other does not. If people would learn to just end marriages once you realize that things are going in a direction where your relationship is going to be destroyed, before it gets to that point, I think you'd see more of this, especially when children aren't involved.
      My wife is more than anything my best friend, and while I don't want the intimacy and partnership of marriage removed from the equation, I value having her in my life as my best friend more than anything, and I hope that we would be able to mature and astute enough to recognize if it were failing and if not saveable, save our friendship, something I think is even more critical as we have two children.

    America really needs to step up our infrastructure game. Negative electric rate days would be nice. Unfortunately our population grew a lot faster than our power generation capacity did. I keep reading articles about how fusion power is a lot closer than it used to be and I can’t wait.
    Did you ever get into the Pacific Northwest states, Oregon and Washington? Looks like pretty similar landscape to yours, just with different kinds of trees. No reindeer though, just regular deer and elk. Elk are like moose but bigger and not as afraid of silly hoomans. Oh, it’s not quite as cold here but it’s still pretty nice.

    All citicens of all five Nordic countries can visit each other without bringing a passport. It's been that way since the sixties. I'm Norwegian, and I've driven through both Sweden and Finland several times on my way to and from Finmark county from my home in south eastern Norway. Never any issue. And since the Swedish border is only 34 km's away, I go over there shopping at least once a month.
    EDIT: When I walked through Torghatten in 2008, none of this stair nonsense was there. I drove the Rv17 along its full lenght that year, but in the opposide direction. The Helgeland coast is in my opinion one of THE most beautiful parts of the country.

We bought a volvo in 1998 and they had a program back then where you travel to Sweden, get your car with european export plates, drive around in it on vacation, then they'd ship it home for you. It included a week vacation for one that you could pay to upgrade, and a ticket both ways
