My colleagues are talking about the recent revelations of American Embassy sponsored spying on Norwegians. If a foreign
embassy in the U.S. had orchestrated the surveillance of Americans, the U.S. govt./American people would be livid. The general feeling here is that someone in a position of power in the Norwegian government who knew about the surveillance but declined to uphold Norwegian law forbidding it, will be held accountable. If you click on the article below it will enlarge.
Bill gave his lecture today on American religious and reform movements in the mid-nineteenth century. I gave a lecture on American race relations to prospective teachers grade 5-10. Both lectures went well.
Mark will go camping this weekend as part of Scouts. It may go down as low as 5 degrees below C and he'll be sleeping in a cave. Walter is off at soccer.
On Saturday we're going to see if we can get any boots for the used skis we bought at a school yard sale. Sunday we're going to a choral concert two of my colleagues are performing in.
Next weekend we're taking a ferry to Hirtshals, Denmark and then a train to Skagen, which is on the tip of Denmark's northernmost coastline. One of my colleagues gave us discounted ferry tickets so we can afford to go.
On Tuesday a friend took me grocery shopping where I bought half a pumpkin for 150 NOK or about 25$! Tonight I made a NYT pumpkin, sweet potato, and apple recipe which we everyone but Walter liked:
