very interesting how Finland serves as tech test trial incubator

remarkable people, they talk funny, but unique society

my father taught in Helsinki for a school year on Fulbright
he loved the warmhearted people there, back in 1976
very forget his streetname: Hietaladenkatu
it just rolls off the tongue

during trip, I took over their home
all manner of illicit activity during those nine months
herb, women, studies, actually earned a Masters that year

dad (being a literary dude), marveled at their 17 letters used in the Finnish language
and the preponderance of the letter A among their words
you can always tell a Finn in Olympics: got 6 A's in name

I marveled at how the northern LapLanders gummed their reindeers peckers right off
some kind of ritualistic herd birth control
limited food resources, you know
(weird but very true!!!)

give me a few of their blonde honeys and a sauna
