My home island (öland, Sweden) have large limestone plains. I guess the layers of soil were always thin, but sheep (in large quantities) didn't help. Funny enough, taken away the sheep and the trees make a come back (at least in wetter places).

Lucky that I have taken enough game theory courses so I don't have to read Austen.

Nice. In return I offer this photo (Öland, Sweden) which I took a week ago.

Själv skulle jag nog börja dribbla med golfbollen, men käket är OK.

Golfbanan har (eller åtminstone hade) hyggligt käk.

69 körde jag traktor, som övning inför 1:a klass. Morfar var (lite för) snäll.

Tittar fotboll för första gången på flera år. (Jo, är sjuk och har feber för första gången på flera år.) Hur som helst, gillar de i vita dräkter bäst.

Yes, I would also like to hear the sound. Perhaps they could make a copy (same wood/measurement/construction) and then give it a go.

I understand. But, just watch out so the extremists (in particular, the right) does not exploit this potential weakness.

I just read a memoire from 1860s. A person from my home island (öland, Sweden) described his background, how he moved on to construct naval ships in Boston and eventually ended up back home in Sweden as an industrialist. What he described didn't feel too far off. Sure, different, but not too much.

An ID to vote seems like a reasonable way to avoid fraud. I believe we've had that in my country (Sweden) since forever. Surely, since 1980 (when I was first allowed to vote, in a referendum about nuclear power).

(talking about moose in the Baltics, I once met one in the sound, 3 km off shore, at the red square. Good swimmers.)

Watching it involved a degree of tension (...something could be wrong), but was mostly soothing for the mind.

Wigforss (finansminister under den här tiden) hade moderna ideer om konjunkturpolitik. Tydligen utan mycket stöd från vare sig höger eller vänster. Om politiken faktiskt var verksam vet jag inte (det gick ju internationellt bättre efter 33), men intentionen var god.

Lite nyfiken: vilken var SKPs (eller snarare en av de 2 SKP, den som sedan blev VPK) politik 1933?

Nah, more likely because the colonists didn't like paying taxes.

A child of Lebanese immigrants. And an important figure in the struggle for consumer protection. (Even I, as a foreigner, know that much.)

Had to go down there and try my "skimming stones" skills (is that the proper expression?). It all started there...and has then been tried across the globe.

Lyckats ta mig till ön, trots tågstrul Malmö-Kalmar. Hoppade in på en biluthyrare i Malmö och körde istället. Det här var första försöket med tåg på många år (ska berätta om orsaken till detta i en annan post) och det slutade i magplask.

An editor of a very good (scientific) journal told us: "Fine, but make it 9 pages (not 56)." Spent that summer in Princeton shaving off words, cutting sections, and landed at 10.5 pages. Was mighty pleased with myself. Then the reply from the editor: "I said 9." (Eventually, we fixed that too.)

Rätt. Funkar inte för polemik (även om twitter var tjugo resor värre). Dock, för kunskapsförmedling och lite bildat trams funkar stället hyggligt.

Kanske, men jag blir faktiskt mer bekymrad av att hon skriver "hur demokrater använder rättssystemet som ett vapen mot republikanska motståndare" och "ogrundade påståenden om ryska kopplingar till Trumps kampanj". Här saknas det omdöme.

Drar till ön (ja, den andra) på torsdag. Där blir jag alltid sönderbränd, även om jag traskat i t-shirt flera månader.
