Neat, Harrison! 
My good things?
Went with biker buddy Jørn to Tivoli today, they have a theme weekend: Greenland, which is the country where I was born.
I met a lot of nice greenlanders, everyone greeted each other with a gentle, smiling "aluu" (hello), whenever they spotted another greenlander - that was a cool experience, being a part of the group instead of being a foreign looking dane.
I got my first taste ever of musk ox meat (- kebab!), and I tell you guys: If you ever get the chance to taste musk ox meat, go for it! It tastes like a cross between the finest beef, mixed with the best game meat you can get - yummy! *drools*
I got some greenlandic newspapers, with articles written in both greenlandic and danish (- thank God! lol ), and I met a a shy, sweet and handsome drum dancer, who let me photograph him.
After a great day in Tivoli, Jørn and I went home, and shortly afterwards Jørn showed up at my place, and then we went for an evening motorcycle ride. Yay! Dinner at Roskilde Harbour, coffee at Boserup Forest, and a nice warm summer evening. Ah, it's been a week since my last motorcycle trip, I needed that!
All in all a really great day.

Very cool Maria, I had no idea you were born in Greenland.
I shucked a couple Bushels of corn today, tiring but well worth it.

Nice one Maria. I wondered, having seen pics of you, if you originated from Greenland. Now I know !

Yup, born in Greenland, raised in Denmark, german/danish/greenlandic ancestors - and Lord knows what else has been mixed into the family along the way.

Three day workweek, then 4 days off. Spending 1.5 days on my own in a tent and hiking around north-central Minnesota. Then 2.5 days at a gathering of guys building bows, arrows, knives, and whatever else time permits.

Making an old friend - Pia - very happy today, by giving her my old Star Trek collection of video tapes, cd's and audio books.
Two crates of video tapes, and four plastic bags of books, and she was happy.
Plus getting to borrow my parents' car to drive the stuff home to Pia's place.
I got rid of plenty of stuff that I don't use anymore, and Pia was happy.

Brand new bandage from the pharmacy, a huge jar of paracetamol - and a quiet evening ride to Jyllinge. Evening coffee at the harbour. VERY nice ride back home again in the quiet, seeping summer rain. Uh, nice!
Perhaps an appropriate music video would be nice?

This could go in either the Annoyed thread or the Cheered thread, but ultimately I chose here 'cause I'm alive and that cheered me up!! Had my Xterra repaired a few months ago after someone hit me; they had to attach a new front bumper and wheel, etc. Apparently they did a really, really bad job because on my way to work today, on the freeway, the thing just bloody came off.
It fell down, stripped my right front tire, popped off some lights and wiring, and sent pieces flying up onto the windshield and onto the freeway. The vehicle turned a half circle and I almost got struck from behind by another truck. Got it to a stop, jumped out, and sat in the 103 heat until I could get a ride.
The really sweet thing is that a dad turned off the exit when he saw me, went to a taco bell, drove all the back again to get on the freeway, and had his little boy bring me a water and ask if everything was OK. I was really touched...didn't expect that. And boy did the water taste good!!!
I'm really hoping that insurance totals this mess...after everything that has happened to me in that car I'm taking it as a sign never to step foot in it again. I swear it's tried to kill me at every chance possible! Time for a new ride!
