However, the third of our 'friends' in the region,... |

- No smoking please, we're Norwegian The last legal cigeratte has been smoked in Norwegian bars and restaurants. Today smoking is illegal in all public places indoors (even the royal palace!), except a few smoking rooms in work places, and in particular this includes bars and restaurants. I quit smoking last year, and so did quite a few of my friends, so this does not directly affect me (in a negative way anyway). I am really opposed to the nanny mentality behind this ban, but I don't deny the law will have a lot of benefits. |

- Thomas FriedmanI neglected to mention that I watched a fascinating documentary last night on Discovery-Times. Thomas Friedman of The Times did this great piece, "Searching for the Roots of 9/11", and it was insightful to say the least. I think that Comcast only carries Discovery-Times on its digital package, but if you get the network, you should take the time to watch. This got me on to a bit of a Friedman kick; luckily, Terry has all three of his books. |
