A Danish Space Ship

One thing I like with weblogs is that, as an author, you are always free to change the tone between posts. So instead of theodicy, here comes a short note on what I did after my train ride to Örebro. I picked up a Danish space ship, or if we have to be correct, a Grand Citroën C4 Picasso and with it my blue bicycle (which has been lost for almost three years).
In the C4, my bicycle and I had a great ride south through the Swedish spring. Somewhere north of Jönköping I discovered how the quintessentially French cruise control worked. And yes, it was another Hertz Freerider.

Into the rain

Left Lund early yesterday morning. For two days I would be on an unusual mission: a non-revenue transfer on behalf of a car rental company from Helsingborg to Stockholm-Arlanda and then back with another free car to Malmö. After a week of intensive teaching, article writing and blogging this was a great opportunity to clear my mind and do something different. Especially as my sister wanted to get up to Stockholm and a friend wanted to get his stuff down here.

Remember Nunberg: liberalism means Volvo-driving these days

Picked up sister in Båstad, after that continuous rain

Sushi-eating and aircraft spotting at ARN

Further down the road, 1400 km in total...

Home and time to return the second car
