I got my first free issue of Time Magazine today and they always have splendid photos of what is happening in the world. This issue obviously only covered one one subject, the current war in media attention (all the other 20 or so wars going on right now aren’t important enough to get any media coverage), the Iraq conflict. There were many photos from the war that showed many different parts, but one really caught my attention. A photo taken at a demonstration were someone had changed the hair on Bush and put a small mustache on him. This made him look very much Hitler.
If anybody local want to read it please let me know.

My throat hurts
My throat hurts. It hurt when I wrote research applications. It hurt while answering emails. It has been hurting me all day. I have a cold. Blääää. Good night.
Random image: Spring cleaning
Spring cleaning in my old office!! I just got so tired of that old book shelf. One more image here. Image taken June 2000 at Luleå University of Technology.
Hard working graduate students
Earlier this week my hard working graduate students submitted three new papers for review.

I am proud of you all!
Fire in Luleå
This morning one of Luleå’s oldest buildings burned down to the ground. At 07.30 the firemen gave up on saving the building and rumours say that our local pyromaniac has hit again. More images can be found here and they were all taken by my friend Göran Öberg who happened to be down town this morning. The images are taken between 08:58 and 09.24 this morning.
Winter is back :-(
After a week of really nice weather (sun +5 – +10) we are now back to winter again. A couple cm of snow came today and I can no longer bike (without risking getting killed). It is supposed to snow for another week according to weather.com.
Random image: Sushi time (and Johanna with a large stomach)
Today’s image is Johanna making sushi rolls. Note her big stomach (no she is not fat), it is a small small Tovah in there. The image was taken May 2000. More in this series here.
Anniversary Today
At 18.07 this evening it will be 7 years since me and Johanna got married! Woohoo!
Time flies then you die!
Random picture: Shopping green stuff
Today’s random picture is the family shopping green stuff. It is Johanna on the picture with Tovah in a sling on the stomach and Timbo (RIP) the overly scared soft coated wheaten terrier (i.e. dog). The image was taken during June-July 2000 at Björsbyn garden. As usual click the image for a larger view and more images from this series can be found here.
Windy tonight
It is a bit windy tonight, and according to weather.com it is “Wind: From the South at 47 gusting to 66 km/h”. I am rather worried about the roof over my new patio that I built last summer. It sounds like it is no longer attached to the wall!
