nation-wide WiFi coverage

Mirja says that Finland is building a nation-wide wireless network. I will have to keep that in mind as I read the headlines.
getting here

Currently, I have no signal so this is being written offline and I will adjust the date and time accordingly once I get this up online.
Airport security at LHR (London/Heathrow) is very very tight right now. I had to throw away any bottles with liquids in them. At SFO, I simply had to put such items in a quart-sized, see-through bag. I lost track of the number of times that I went through security from SFO --> HEL.
On the first flight, I sat next to a jolly, moderately intelligent Californian woman who was visiting her boyfriend in London.
On the second flight, I enjoyed observing the Finnish women (Sylvi, and Anneli who seems to like to travel a lot) across the aisle, half an arm's reach away, who were drinking much of what seems to be the only free alcohol still served on flights. Go Finnair. Ah, what the hell, "Saanks mäkin toinen punaviini? [May I also have another red wine?]" I should have struck up a conversation with them much earlier in the flight.
heading to Finland tomorrow
I am heading to Finland tomorrow because a close friend passed away in the north. I will return on the 31st of October.
butter trolls' cookbook
So the title of this thing is Pot-luck. Need I say more? It comes from Minnesota and the salads require a minimum of 10 oz. of bacon. Ok, it is from the 1993 so perhaps these butter trolls have learned something in the past 13 years. If not, they are still butter trolls or dead.
