back from sweden
was in stockholm for a couple days to check out a potential postdoc. it was a lot of fun! to generalize: swedish people say it like it is, like to drive priuses, recycle, eat bacon cheese, and create funny-sounding candies. also, you can blithely stroll across the crosswalk if there is one or walk when there is a walk signal without fearing for your life: cars actually STOP for you! this is, of course, unheard of in baltimore.
