Hello hustlers, Been a while. First off, I have to apologize: to paraphrase the dril tweet, you do not, under any circumstances, have to “hand it” to COVID-19. In my last letter I said it felt good for me personally to recontextualize Wuhan as “city where I was sad when I was twenty-one” to something that wasn’t about me at all, thus reminding me the world continues to exist when I’m not there and I’m not life’s main character. However, obviously the virus: is bad. I apologize for being glib about it.
a fjord is a strech of sea going inland. Usualy vikings settled at the bottom of a fjord and had guards with “bauner” (huge stacks of wood), so if the enemy came sailing, they would light the bauner, so the people in the bottom fo the fjord was warned. In “The lord of the ring” they light bauner from the white city to ahem, well ☺️ The water is mostly warmer at the end/bottom of a fjord, and it’s likely to find a beach.
The king (a dane, later king Christian 8 in Denmark) actually gave the norwegians a constitution at May 17 1814, where “men with feet under their own table”, which were very few, could participate governing the country. When Christian 8 became king of Denmark, people (read the rich) thought, they could have a constitution like Norway, but apparently not. The king argued, it was special circumstances, that gave Norway a constitution, and there were no need for modern interrupting things like that in Denmark, so he stayed single ruling the country, Norway kept their constitution.
I too, love the “light” nights, where it never really gets dark.
You are both welcome, if your lives turn near us, here further south.
