One thing we Finns love to have is sauna. Foreigners always are surprised when one of the first things is going naked to sauna. Anyway, when the Finnish UN peacekeepers went to central Africa the first thing they did was build a sauna. The locals must have thought they were crazy. Our favourite competition also is to throw water on the stones and see who is the first one to escape the hotness...
I rode along I-44 in the Panhandle one fine day, on my way from Japan to San Diego. (Hey, I'm not a navigator.) At one point there was a snow storm on the south side of the road and a bright, sunny day on the north side.
