"Based on this Wikileaks information, Sweden should not only withdraw it's charges

against Assange (unless they really, really have excellent evidence) and furthermore

The mystery of all the missing pictures deepens

I am waiting for answers from Google/Picasa about the missing pictures

Couldn't resist glimpsing the future of elk-hunting.

We had our first snow on 22nd October and then it went away again after a few hours.

Today we got a real snowstorm with some high winds and continuous snow which is forecast to continue for the next 24 hours

when he/she chooses to do so  – not when others express the need!
