The Hive is ALIVE! It's not dead yet!

Well, that's what you get for living in Finland. It's much warmer here though, so it may not be worth it. 112 F (44.4 C) today. Toasty warm.

Ouch, that's freaking hot.

Who'd want to live like that. At least here I have a good reason to get wasted every now and then. In a country where we ride our polarbears to penguin-hunting, one needs the alcohol to keep the blood from feezing...

I think you're exagerating JUST a little bit.

. . .

everyone knows that Finland is too cold for Penguins, they freeze do death. Just like Morgan Freeman told me.

Yeah, I guess 12 hours per day would give you pretty much all the hours you'd need in a week, minus 4.

But because I get better than normal pay for having done so good work, I don't really need those four hours and still come out with more pay than others in the firm. Pays to be good .

Well that's only in the two weeks in the midsummer, when they come this far. It's a national festival here. The Penguin-weeks we call them.


... what?

Nice.

Sadly, I'm only working 12 hours a week. Burning through my savings sort of quickly, unfortunately, due to crappy bills, though the 12 hours each week helps alleviate that a little. Working at a home health care agency which is just beginning and there isn't enough money/work for me to be anything more at the moment.

As we get more clients, my presence here will last longer until everything is good enough for me to be full-time.

Oh, okay. That makes sense. Migratory penguins. Like in Monty Python . . . I wonder where they'd get a coconut from.

Damn, now I got the urge to tell you about this fishing-story my grampa used to tell. Me telling about polarbear-mounts is nothing compared to that...

I'm stuck at work for . . . 8 more hours (less a lunch hour), so I've got the time. Please tell us the legend of the one that got away.

Okay it'll take some time to write... It's about how a village nearby where I live got named.
