My brain really doesn't feel like working too much tonight, so I didn't do anymore history research. So I am going to put some pictures up that I've taken from around town and comment on them!
* NOTE from last one, I mentioned the Native Americans also because I am part Native American! From both the Susquehanna and Mohawk tribes. Of the Mohawks, in the Turtle Clan that
St. Kateri Tekakwitha is associated with, so I could be related to a Saint!!

the way I walk to school every weekday |
Sweden has a law where all strong alcohols can not be sold outside of these government run stores [except in restaurants and bars]. Thus the government controls the price of alcohol. Which probably makes most people sad, I went to one once, while in Kiruna, and got a non-alcoholic drink ("special Swedish Christmas/winter drink")--which was pretty cheap, success, I know ;P
