Good morning ๐ซ๐ฎ
Hi Teppo!
No, I missed the Rukka on their polos. ๐ซฃ
You bet! ๐
Wishing you well on your Canadian citizenship! ๐จ๐ฆ I'm now a permanent resident of Finland ๐ซ๐ฎ and have absolutely no intentions of ever moving back to the States. ๐
Thank you kindly...๐
This was his face! And instead of folding his arms like he often does, the tool started clapping for himself, looking like a circus seal ๐ฑ
Watched it live here in Europe and definitely heard the audio switch briefly to prerecorded crowd semi-cheering.

You are very welcome! And likewise, thank you for being here as well! ๐

๐ Well spoken...
Good golly! He & President Stubb of Finland โ a scratch golfer who attended Furman University on a partial golf scholarship โ played a round of golf in Florida together earlier this year (yes, 2025! and the photo is from that event).
Seriously, what is happening here?

YES!! ๐
Moment of August calm: A neighboring golden oat field ripens under wide blue skies
For centuries a staple food & forage, oats remain central to Finlandโs culture and economy, thriving in the clean, cool, rainy northern climate
Daylight now wanes, and with it, nighttimeโand evening sweatersโreturn
