Once I get my 100+ boxes of books out of storage I doubt six bookshelves would hold them all. It's okay, though. I'll be giving away a lot of them.

I had a guest yesterday...

He and the doggie became friends quickly...

Everything went surprisingly well, considering that this lad visited me for a first time. I had met him previously very briefly, but fully expected the usual routine of a new dog coming for daycare. Of course there was the routine, but I have met a lot worse too. I predict a bright future for this boy on his career.

And the people apparently haven't changed either. I took the boys out for a walk together and sure enough, some people again pointed at the younger dog and asked: "Ooo, is he his [pointing at the older dog] puppy?!" Yeah, of course. When I have two retrievers in tow, they just have to be related. It's not like it's one of the most popular breeds in the world or anything.

"They all look the same to me"...Breedists!

Nice dogs, nice pics.

You know, we had a spring. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, people were putting their jackets back to the closets and yours truly was already preparing to switch back to summer shoes. And then yesterday...

BANG!!

The wind formed the snow in interesting ways. Like in this picture, it was entirely possible that on one side of the street you were barely even stepping on snow and on the other side you sunk knee deep into it.

The Särkänniemi amusement park's dolphin still looked happy in the middle of the blizzard. I think. Truth be told, I'm not sure, because the visibility was approximately 50m.

The old steamer took a hit too. Good thing she was docked.

The traffic was totally stuck. The media, as per usual, exaggerated and called it "the worst traffic jam ever", but it was still bad. All the major lanes were blocked. The problems were caused especially by heavy trucks that got stuck in the hills and blocked the roads from everyone else too.

The city also had some problems, but not in such a large scale. It seemed that the worst jams were on the borders. That is, it was possible to move within the city, but it was impossible to get there or out of there. People reported spending over 2 hours on trips that usually take 20 minutes.

"Whut?"

Yeah, things have warmed up here so early in the year that people are afraid to do any planting in their gardens. There is that slight chance that the weather can turn and suddenly, like you said, BANG!

Here are a couple of pictures I took at the Iowa State Capitol building last month. It turns out they have a battleship on display there:

Can you guess which battleship?

I took quite a few photos of that model. The detail is pretty amazing.

Aft main turret.

That is one awesome model

Umm...

Missouri?
Wisconsin?
New Jersey?

Can I buy a vowel?

Just a hint?

Oh, I give up. I've never been very good at these things.

How bad is your memory? It's the Texas, we were both on it together in 08

I was going to go for Iowa but I reckon that bell is a red herring
