It's getting cold in Oslo and I'm not sure that I'm emotionally prepared. My homepage has temperature readings from Singapore and Bay St. Louis and pretty soon I will most likely look at them with spite. Or maybe just fear. Okay, so its not that cold yet. But I can smell fall slash winter.
I wish I were joking, but today while headed to the subway two guys standing in front of a massive stack of boxes were passing out bags of...hot dogs. It was an advertising gimmick, in which the latest brand of hotdogs apparently lowers cholesterol. Norwegians love their hotdogs. At every gas station and convenience store hotdogs are pictured everywhere. Juicy pork dogs often times wrapped in bacon. It's pretty gross but also consistently hilarious. Watching a Norwegian with perfectly gelled blond hair an armani suit and louis vitton suitcase chowing down on a bacon wrapped hotdog while waiting for the tram in the city center is a sight to behold. And it's incredibly common.
Nice job on averting Gustav guys.
Apparently because the storm fizzled a bit and media coverage didn't last much longer than in took for news anchors rain jackets to dry out nonprofits that responded to the storm are going in debt to pay for the help they sent: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/05/AR2008090501624_2.html?hpid=topnews
