When it rains, it pours: I see that Los Lobos and Fleetwood Mac are coming to Sweden. I’m not going to get tickets, though. Los Lobos is tempting. But Fleetwood Mac… I think when they were big, I was busy being a workaholic and not that into music. If I went to see them, it would just be because I know they were so hot once upon a time. And I’d rather have a better reason to spend my money. :)
To the sea, to the sea: After the gym yesterday morning, there wasn’t much traffic around so I took you with me as I drove down to “my spot”, seaside.

America vs. Sweden: “My” grocery store chain, ICA, has started a new thing where instead of sending me coupons for various random things, they’ll send coupons for things they can see that I purchase using my ICA card. Brilliant!
And that’s just what they did! Here you see them. Those are 3 things I buy all the time!
And I don’t even have to take the coupons in-hand to the store; they’re already registered in my card. How cool is THAT?!?
So my question is… do they do that in the U.S., too?
Bloomin’ stuff: We don’t have these but I see them everywhere. Beautiful. They remind me of Iowa where I grew up.
