Thanks everybody!

Now some answers:

Farmer. That would be quite a drive ;-) I think it's great the way you take care of your old folks. I also hope you'll have a great 3-day weekend. Me and Magdalena will have our first night together without the twins on friday, we'll check into a hotel and eat in a small restaurant that always serves the best food we have ever eaten(till the next time we get there). I'm almost drewling when thinking of it. In Portland I'm sure you will have a great time. It would be fun to make it some year even Magdalena have became more interested in getting "over there" some day. Not to se a lot of tractors all days long though she "learned"(heck she have driven a lot of old Volvo's, what's the difference?) to drive one when haying this year. So we might use some offers we've got some day(or more probably year).

George. Many people here keeps your country on the top of the list how selfemployed should be treated. Keep in mind that we have a socialdemocratic government (supported by the "ex"communists and the environmentalparty i.e. the environmentcommunists) that consider making money on your own and owning things are very bad and ugly. I won't say anymore about this since this absolutely not is a political list, so much like our government I don't want any comments on this ;-)

Jerry. That's probably true.
