In Which A Death Is Announced
July 28, 2006 by Mike
Vemdalen, central Sweden
Route: Vaggeryd -Vemdalen
(STOCKHOLM, Agencies) Pele Jonsson, the last ugly petrol station attendant in Sweden, is dead. Jonnsssonn was also the last surviving male petrol attendant and the only petrol attendant over the age of 22.
Police have ruled out foul play, believing that he suffered a massive heart attack when he entered the staff changing room and found several gorgeous sex kittens getting changed into their 'uniform'.
Jonnnssssonnn had for some time been marketed as a tourist attraction, but frankly most tourists preferred to be served by his slinky, pouting colleagues, none of whom seem to realise how beautiful they are, which only adds to the attraction. Some tourists even drive more miles every day just so they can fill their tanks more often, say reports.
Mike With is 40.
--------------------------
In other news, I rode 400+ miles to Vemdalen - not only Sweden's leading winter ski resort but the place where rain clouds go on their summer holidays. I nearly missed them, riding through one valley with black thunderclouds to the east and bright sunshine to the west, but my luck ran out here (and here is very passable, with a cybercafe and 'bike shop two of the local attractions waiting for me in the morning.)
Also to be found here: "musk-ox, bears, wolves, wolverines, eagles and lynx." This is the southern edge of Norrland -- that'll be North Land in Swedish -- and there are Saami communities here too. It may be midsummer, but I'm moving the thermals to the top of the pannier just in case.
And there's more: the local tourist blurb tells me the trees here (and there are trees everywhere) are pussy willow and dwarf birch"...
Dwarf birch? Have you seen here "r" is on the keyboard?? One slip of my tired, clumsy typing finger and that could be so, so wrong...

I've only just discovered the site and haven't read everything but thought I'd attach this to the most important entry i.e. where you finally admit what is widely known about Swedish women / girls. Oops - Helen has just got up so I'll stop.
By now I'm sure you know, but ... Norwich somehow lost. Shame you are out of the country, on such an unusual day.
