Areas in southern Sweden. These maps used to be based on sketches I did in 2000; now they are mostly brought up to last August.

Uncle Milton Industries has been selling ant farms to children since 1956. Some years ago, I remember opening one up with a friend. There were no actual ants included in the box. Instead, there was a card that you filled in with your address, and the company would mail you some ants. My friend expressed surprise that you could get ants sent to you in the mail. I replied: "What's really interesting is that these people will send a tube of live ants to anyone you tell them to.". Really, we can't help it.

What the Hedgehog Sang. Sir, please stop trying to convince the nice man that he should destroy us all. Denmark got a new government yesterday. There had been no mass protests. No armored vehicles in the streets. No weapons fired or even readied. Power simply changed hands, just like that. Those formerly in power will, for the most part, stay in politics. They will do their best to undermine the new government's policies and popularity. They will not be harassed by the authorities...That, my friends, is ...
