A twitter running down the spine of…

We have presidential elections today in Finland. To fit the theme of the day, the title of the posting is a quote from a poem by Ana Bozicevic, "God Is President, She’s the Rose of the World". I'm referring of course to Tarja Halonen, who has been the President of the Republic of Finland since the year 2000. Many children, including our three daughters, have never known of any other than a female president.

This time around there are a lot of candidates in the elections, and any of them is a better person than the party they represent, which is probably a good thing. But one of the candidates is clearly better suited to be President than the others, at least I think so...

Here are some winter photographs, night and day. The depth of snow is now 43 cm, good for cross-country skiing, which I engaged in today together with our daughter. Where there were no skiing tracks, we made them.
