We haven't come across any connectivity for a while. In these secluded days, I am reminded of a passage from one of Thoreau's journals that reads the inscription on a Swedish inn:
"You will find at Trolhate excellent bread, meat, and wine, provided you bring them with you!"

@neauoire wait you don't mean Descartes though? I mean I know of one philosopher who went here and thats him (the guy that died here from the cold or something) - did Thoreau go to Sweden too at some point?

@ohyran It's just something thoreau wrote in one of his journal, I don't think it was a first hand account of going to that inn.

@neauoire ty! I was going insane thinking he had gone to Sweden :D
Also "Trolhate" would that be him going for "Trollhättan" (an old town in West of Sweden)?
I gotta check this up :)

@ohyran if you can find Thoreau's journals, it's in one of the earlier ones, I can't remember which tho.

Jens

@neauoire Will look for it! (You know you're from a teeny tiny crap nation when you get excited about being mentioned by a famous person :D our only previous claim to fame is that we killed Descartes)
