We're ready. Anytime. Hi, everyone. I'm Emily.
And I'm Vince. And this is The Lighthouse Lowdown.
I tried to copy the way you said it before we
started. The Lighthouse Lowdown. Oh, before.
Yeah, you say it like a wrestling announcer.
Just seems right. Whatever those are called.
All right. It's going to be a... shorter episode
today okay short episode a little one i i liked
the name of the lighthouse so that's why i selected
it but it didn't have like a whole lot of history
around it so that's what happened nice i do have
a history buoy and i should have looked at i
should have looked at the patent for this one
because i'm sure it would have had a better explanation
for how this works but we are covering the sun
valve for our history buoy oh i thought that
was the lighthouse Sun valve lighthouse. That
would be so cool. But no. So I kind of, I looked
up, I wanted the history buoy to be, what do
you do to a lighthouse in order to automate it?
And so it's actually not that easy to find like
just an article or something written about that.
So I had to just look at what people invented
that started automating lighthouses. Well. So
like, what do you mean? Because I would argue
that there's been various levels of automation.
Exactly. Well, that's what I mean is that I'm
looking at now the beginning of automation. There
was some, they did stuff before this, but like
the real start of having automated lights is
from this invention called the Sun Valve. Okay.
By Gustav Dahlin. I'm just going to try to pronounce
his name there. So. It is a large black metal
rod surrounded by three polished metal rods.
And those are all enclosed in a glass tube. And
so the concept is that the black rod in the center
would absorb more heat than the others when the
sun would rise and would therefore expand in
the sunlight. And then this expansion would cut
off the gas supply in the valve during the day.
which in turn would switch the lighthouse off.
That's awesome. I know. Cut off the gas flow,
light turns off. That's incredible. And then
after the sun would set, the black rod would
cool down again and open the gas and thus turning
the light on. So the gas, when it's available,
is lit by a pilot light that's always burning.
So I think that was one of the things that was
a struggle is that if the light, if the little
flame went out, then there's no light. But it
was pretty reliable. They used it for a lot of
buoys. Of course, yeah. For some lighthouses.
That's incredible. For those of you who are just
listening, we're looking at an image that looks
like a Martha Stewart pepper cracker. Oh. Something
like super high tech. Is it pepper cracker? To
me, this looks like a component that someone
would steal in a future movie, like a futuristic
movie that's imperative for some big. This is
the combobulator. Come on. You see the combobulator
is broken. Where is that from? There's a series
of guys on TikTok that go and lowball people
for cars. Oh, no. Yeah, it's kind of tragic.
I think one of them got arrested lately for something.
I'm not sure. But one of the things they'd like,
they'd introduce themselves. This guy's Tommy
Tough Knuckles. You know, that's like how he'd
introduce himself. And they get under the car
and they're looking at, you know, various vehicles.
And he'd say, oh, the convoy is busted. The owner's
always kind of like. okay whatever like and then
yeah because they're saying a bunch of stuff
so anyways that's what i this looks like a compopulator
i think i don't like people being punked like
that no i'm uncomfortable watching when people
are like just think they're having a normal interaction
it's like what yeah they're trying to sell their
corvette and there's some of these like 20 year
olds show up yeah i think i just feel bad when
people are confused that's why i'm i hate it
oh no please stop Okay. So anyway, I wanted to
say something. So it's a gas valve. So it opens
and closes gas supply. Yes. And then the pilot
light is separate, which is usually burning.
Yeah. I would, I would guess that this caused
a lot of problems, not some problems, probably
some explosions. Cause if you ever have, like
I worked for a natural gas company for a little
while, if you ever have a gas leak, that's not
being burned, it can build up to an explosive
level as you're probably aware of from work.
They've got to have some control system. If this
was going to be what they relied on, then they've
got to have some way to control that it's not
building up, but it's just stagnant until the
valve is open. It'd be so scary. If it didn't
turn on for the day and you see it from the ground,
you have to go up and go in there and get the
gas out. Do not create a spark. No static electricity.
Yeah, true. Well, speaking of explosions, Gustav
won. the Nobel Prize for this invention in 1912.
And he couldn't accept it in person because he
was blinded by an explosion during experiments
for like when using this type of gas. I can't
remember what it's called. Damn. Like really
light, like acetylene. Yeah. So at the end of
his career, he was blinded, but he was still
doing experiments and like invented a couple
other things even. I think acetylene is white
gas, if I remember right. We had these lanterns
as kids when we went to go camping. There's two
types of lanterns we had. One was the conventional,
you know, shell lifts and closes. And the other,
so that burns kerosene. And the other was, I
think, was called white gas, and I think it was
acetylene. Could be wrong on there. Many an effect
check. But those would fill these, like, pouches
with gas, and the pouches would ignite, and it
was, like, white. It would burn super bright.
It was this super bright lantern. Yeah, powerful.
Well, feel bad for Gustav. Yeah, he was all right.
But he was there. He just wasn't, he couldn't
see. They just said he couldn't pick up his ward
in person. Damn. Also, 1912, I wonder if he was
kind of like, people didn't want to see him because
he was blind. Oh, no. That's terrible. That's
what I'm saying. I know it was a bad time for
anyone to have problems. Well, did they have
a ceremony? I think they do for Nobel. Is that
in Sweden? Is that where we, in Stockholm? That's
interesting because... No, for those of you who
are not here, which is everyone, the cat just
jumped onto Emily. Just the one thigh, though,
and then tried to balance so all the claws were
out. I don't understand why you would do it to
me. Okay, what I was going to say is that Gustav
was Swedish, and so... Does that make sense?
Yeah. Swedish inventor. I can't help myself.
He's looking it up. I'm looking at white gas.
Oh. There's a couple things I didn't know. Yes,
it is. Oh, good. Well, this is the fuel I was
thinking of. Is it acetylene? Acetylene, turns
out, is hard for me to spell. There's a Y in
there. Okay, I got it wrong. It's not the same
thing. Okay. I have to redact what I had said.
Whatever. It's the same vibe. Sorry. And that
was the cat jumping off. Ow! Look! Yep. Remember,
you love these guys. Why would you jump off if
you don't have secure legs? They're going to
bleed. Yeah, so Emily's now bleeding out of her
leg for this podcast and this cat. I would also
just want everyone to know this is the cat that
had its ACL repaired recently. Which, if you
think about it, if you were to repair an ACL
on a cat, you can't have that cat jump. Yeah.
And cats can't be trained or controlled. Or controlled.
So we put that cat into a tent. A tent. In our
house for eight weeks. It was like, I think the
tent was maybe two weeks. Or maybe three. And
then we had to take all the furniture out of
our room. I was jumping somewhere else he shouldn't
go. Bo, hey. He's good. It's fine. But just to
close out the story, we had the cat in the tent
in the house, and that required us moving all
the things we had out of the bedroom, sleeping
on the floor, I think for about eight weeks.
So this cat is loved, and that pain you hear,
that's love. That's just one of the prices you
pay by owning a cat. I'll accept it. Permanent
skin damage. Do you want something for that?
Do you want to take a pause? Yeah, maybe I should
clean it. Let's clean it. We'll come back. All
right. All right. I'm ready to go. Back in the
game. Sorry. You're good. Looking at pictures
of us yesterday at the wedding of our friend.
Oh, yeah. So, picking out a couple of those.
Are you going to post them? Yeah. Cute. You never
post stuff. Yeah, I know. Never. No big deal.
Kind of a big deal. So I got us, and the cat
got us off track. But that was it. So we got
our automatic valve Nobel, and his name was Gustav,
and he was blind, and he didn't get his package.
He didn't get his package. He wasn't there to
receive his package, his reward in person. Yeah,
but it wasn't like he was just a recluse after
that. He kept inventing, which I just think is
really crazy cool. It's good, too, because if
you're going to go blind for some cause, it's
nice to be recognized for. The breakthrough that
you made. Well, I was just thinking his face
isn't damaged. I saw a picture after the explosion.
That's why I thought it was correct. You were
saying about the white, like it burns a bright
white. Like if there was an explosion, it may
be bright enough to blind you. That's what I
was thinking. It could be pressure, though. Just
a pressure wave. Yeah. My grandpa lost sight
in one eye from a bullet that went by. He was
in World War II. in service in world war ii so
it didn't possibilities it did not hit him but
yeah bullet came close enough to travel that
it took his eye out so yeah anyways eyes are
very also to know that a bullet went that close
to your head i know and if it was probably two
inches yeah three inches left or right then i
wouldn't be here isn't that crazy this podcast
yeah might not be the same would not be here
Okay. History buoy closed. Very good. Thank you.
Next is our lighthouse. Episode 80. Episode 80.
It's a big one. And we're going to be covering
Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse. Lobster Cove Head
Lighthouse. I kind of wish it was just called
Lobster Cove Lighthouse, but I understand. Or
Lobster Head. Lobster Head. Also would be an
excellent name. So we're going to stay in Canada.
I did Nova Scotia last episode. Two in a row.
I know. So a little bit north of that is the
island of Newfoundland. That's obviously I was
looking around. Snooping around Canada. Yeah,
when I was like, what else is up here after we
did Peggy's Cove? And then I saw Lobster Cove
and I was like, lobster? And that's how this
happened. I've heard Newfoundland is just gorgeous.
I know a lot of Canada is, but. Well, this one's
nestled in a national park. So there's like all
kinds of good hiking and like fjords and stuff.
I'm excited. Okay, so I'll pull up a picture
of our location. You can see Nova Scotia down
to the south. And then we have. That's Newfoundland.
Well, it's Newfoundland and Labrador, and then
the island itself is Newfoundland. Okay. So I
got a little zoomed up part so you can see the
area of the lighthouse that we're covering. Wow.
So on the west side of this island, there's a
tiny bay called, I want to say it's Bon Bay,
which splits into two fjords, the east and the
south arm. As you can see, one is east, one is
south. And the east is super deep and surrounded
by the national park that I was talking about,
while the south is more shallow and small with
Woody Point and some other small settlements.
Okay. In 1889, G .C. Fern, who was part of the
legislative assembly for the district that included
Lobster Cove, so just a position in the government,
he shared concerns from his residents about needing
a lighthouse in this area. At the time... A local
fisherman was running a light in his own house.
No way. Yeah. For the good of the fishermen.
The residents each donated a pint of oil each
week in order to fuel this light. So it was like
this big community effort. Everybody was aware
of needing a light because they were all contributing
to one in somebody's house, which is just so
funny. Fern thought the government should be
supplying a light, obviously, at this point.
And he said, quote, a stately old dame has offered
to keep the lighthouse free of salary. and said
she, quote, you may be sure it will always be
burning for I have three boys on the banks. That's
nice. Yeah, she's like, I would do it for free
if you would just get a light out here because
all my sons are out on the water. I want to make
it safe for them. What a nice old dame. I know.
It's so funny that's how they said it. A stately
old dame. She doesn't even require a pay. I know.
She just needs a wall. For free. That same year,
four new lighthouse locations were selected.
along newfoundland's west coast including lobster
cove head so legit he did a good job do you do
you know did you think about uh i'm thinking
i'm not knowing that fishermen stopped his light
because there was this new one built i don't
know now my little lantern's nothing well i'm
sure he wasn't doing it for fun i don't know
it also would be nice to take uh Kind of take
the pressure off of having to have the only running
light. Can you imagine how stressful it would
be? And because that's not his only job. We're
used to our light keepers. He's fishing as well.
Yeah, he's also fishing. The light keepers are.
I guess, like, got to wake up in the middle of
the night and make sure the light's burning.
I wonder what kind of light he had. I don't know.
Or if it was just, like, some makeshift, like,
little thing. Something that used oil, though,
right? It wasn't, like, a fire. Yeah. Wood fire.
They picked lighthouse locations the same year
that he brought up the issue, but it was another
nine years before they had built all the necessary
buildings for this lighthouse, which was like,
oh my gosh, almost a decade. I mean, in lighthouse
history, it's not that bad. In lighthouse construction,
that's pretty bad. Construction is bad, yeah.
They've been able to get stuff done within a
year for sure. So this was just nine years is
kind of crazy. But the lighthouse was lit in
spring of 1898 and pulled up an old photo. We
got a nice weather vane on top. It's a round
iron tower painted white, and it was connected
by a 20 -foot walkway to the keeper's dwelling,
which was white and had black roof on the walkway
and the keeper's cottage. And it had a fifth
order lens that flashed every two and a half
seconds. 26 feet tall. Very, um. That's only
26 feet tall? Mm -hmm. Wow. This image, I guess
the image is from below. Yeah, the lighthouse
is up on a rocky, like, outcropping. And I've
never seen, that's what I said wow about. I've
never seen a staircase as the transport between
the keeper's house and the tower. What's it called
where it's protected? Walkway? Yeah. That's all
I got. But I know what you're talking about.
There's a name. It's a walkway built into the
house. It's like a hallway that goes between
the... I can't remember. Yeah, I know what you're
saying. This one's got siding on it. The stairs
is so interesting. Window. And it's cut out to
match the shape of the rocks. That's really nice.
Yeah, it's very unique. When they opened it,
they also opened it as a signal station. So they
had flags on a signal pole, and then each flag
represented a letter of the alphabet or a phrase.
And so our listeners, if you want to know what
we're talking about, episode 54, our history
book, we cover nautical flags. Sure did. And
what those mean. So it's actually really interesting.
Pretty cool. Be fun to be able to communicate
with just flags. Really cool. And that's what
those masts are often for, right? It's like a
mast on land. Yeah. I have an example. I have
a picture coming up where you can see the flags.
So this one I think is probably different. We're
not in the U .S., so maybe it was more standardized
in the U .S. But there's only three keepers total
at this lighthouse. The first was Robert Lewis,
and he served for five years until William Young
took over in 1902. He and his wife Esther. Esther.
Esther. Esther, I would guess. It's a T -H. So
I'm like, Esther. I don't know. In my head, I
must have been thinking Esther. I'll just, it's
fine. We're so sorry to Mrs. Young. They raised
eight children at the lighthouse. Wow. And one
of them, George, took over in 1941 until 1970.
George and his dad both served like 39 years
and 29 years. Yeah. It's kind of crazy. That's
crazy. One family. Yeah. Little small town action
over here. Because it's still, it's not like
a booming area and you're still on an island.
So in a lot of cases in history, lighthouses
that are on an island away from big cities, they
don't, keepers don't last for really long stretches
of time. Must have been more of a local mindset.
Fishing focus, and then obviously they had some
trade probably in that cove, that bay with Nova
Scotia. I saw on the map Prince Edward Island,
PEI, is up, it's northwest of, what is that?
Oh, yeah, Nova Scotia. Yeah, but it's Prince
Edward Island. I've heard lots of people, a couple
people I know have physically gone there. They
said it's just really stunning, that set of islands.
Yeah, I feel like, I don't know enough about
Newfoundland to say whether or not it's a thing
people travel to. I'm trying to get a scale of
how far that would be across the bay and how
difficult it would be to travel. I mean, it looks
like the distance is comparable to Maine. Yeah,
cool part of the world. It looks like you may
go there to this area for the national park.
If you're like a national park person. Yeah.
What does that say? That national park name?
Grossmorn. Okay. Grossmorn. I don't know. Lots
of green up there. Oh, nice photo. There's where
they would keep their signal flags. So it's just
a flag post and they would raise and lower any
communication, weather and such. This looks like
a recent photo. It is. Yeah, this is what it
looks like today. It's interesting because I
didn't read anything about there being red trim
around the keeper's house, and it has red trim.
So, you know, in old pictures, it's hard to tell
if it matches the black roof or if it's red.
Yeah, and we've seen a couple, but an all -white
lighthouse is actually not that common. No, because
they usually want it to stand out from clouds.
I mean, you can even see in this picture from
a distance, it would probably blend in pretty
well. But it's on the highest point, I would
guess, the local highest point. And they said
it's 20 -something feet tall, less than 30. 26,
yeah. Nothing crazy, but yeah, it is pretty high
up there. 1969, the lighthouse was fit with automation
equipment, and the light was eventually transferred
to Parks Canada. So they are in charge of maintaining
the light. Nice. Yeah. 1990, it became a recognized
federal heritage building. Nowadays, the Keeper's
House is a museum, which is open this year, May
16 to May 13. Oh, sorry, May 16 to October 13.
It's open 10 a .m. to 5 .30 every day. And there's
also park rangers on site that will give you
all the history of the lighthouse and the surrounding
national park and all the people that live there.
So I pulled up a picture of they have some stuff
in the Keeper's House to make it look like when
they were living there. And so you can like walk
around and see what they used and they have like
a bunch of exhibit stuff. And then you can see
the entrance. There's a picture of the inside
of the walkway to the front door of the tower.
It's pretty cool. Kind of spooky. I'm not scared
when I see this picture. It looks like you're
going, it's like a door you should never enter.
I guess the end of it. So it's this stairway
that's painted red. Like everything's red. Yeah.
And it looks like they have some steps of what
was required of the lighthouse keepers on there,
which is kind of cool. Yeah. On the treads. But
then, yeah, the top of it, I guess, is kind of
ominous. Single bright light. Yeah. Right over
the red door. Which is interesting because the
lighthouse is white. They really embrace the
red. I was going to say, I wonder when they painted
that whole thing red. Well, and the floor of
the house is red. Did you notice that? Yeah.
Okay, so the trim must have been red to go with
the theme. Yeah. Red was on sale. Yeah. But it
looks really cool. I mean, you might as well
do something different. It is really neat. A
different space. That entry looks really heavy,
heavy duty. So if there was some crazy storm,
it could probably still be safe in the lighthouse
itself. And then I just want to point out, I
see a wood stove. Not a traditional wood stove
like for heating, but for cooking. Yeah. That's
really cool. My great -great... Let me think
about that. Yeah, my great -grandparents, I guess.
When stoves used to be fancy, so now they have
little claw feet and everything on them. Yeah,
claw feet and a little window into the firebox.
Yeah. Really neat. Pretty neat. I would love
to visit. Looks awesome. Yeah, I feel like it
would be a fun little stop. I wonder how you
get to Newfoundland. Do they have a flight, or
do you have to take a... ferry or a boat? I would
guess you take a boat. They may have, I mean,
everywhere has an airport for bush pilots and
whatnot in Canada and Alaska, like the outer
areas. But it might be big enough of an island
that has a full -size airport. Newfoundland has
several airports, including Gander International
Airport. Hey, look at us. St. John's International
Airport. Okay, so it's all kind. They're probably
small flights. It looks like... I was thinking
that Newfoundland would have one area where they
have the most concentrated people. But the airports
are completely, they're on every edge of Newfoundland.
Can you just look at one of them? They're probably
not, you know, like Denver International. It's
probably not going to be big. And this is a different
part of the world, but just of interest. Like
Alaska, we're talking to some people that have
a house in view of Denali. And they were talking
about a lot of the places in Alaska, you cannot
reach them by road or by boat. You can only fly
in. And so people, that's why bushcraft, small
aircraft are so, bush planes are so popular up
there. And I wonder if parts of Canada aren't
the same. Yeah, I guess that would make sense.
If it's like densely, dense vegetation and everything,
you wouldn't. Go through all the effort of putting
in a road. It would actually be really difficult.
But, you know, if you have a lighthouse, probably
reach it by boat. Yeah. In the fjords. I should
have put some pictures in here of the, like,
what's the word I'm trying to think of? The local
town? Just the nature, like, around there. Like,
a picture of the fjord, not just a Google map.
But we'll have to search it. Well, the Google
map was awfully green. Green? And deep blue water.
Very attractive. Good reason to visit this place,
aside from the lighthouse. But that's Lobster
Cove Head Lighthouse. Very nice. Just a little
episode, little bite. Shortisode. Yeah, shortisode.
With our little break, we're sitting at just
over 30 minutes right now. Oh, good. Yeah, I
guess you'll be leaving next week for Sweden.
And I'll expect a Swedish episode when you come
back. Yeah, I gotta prepare. I'll probably have
a shortisode as well. Okay. but uh i gotta figure
out a recording too busy traveling too busy out
seeing sweden world flying internationally you
know how it is yeah flying flying into gutenberg
uh something like that something like that um
and then eventually flying home from stockholm
okay so so but you guys are doing like a big
you guys are driving okay South. So we're going
to go. Start in Stockholm and end in Stockholm?
No, start in Gutenberg and end in Stockholm.
Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, so fly in there, go south.
I wanted to, it's not, they're not doing tours.
This is such a side note. But one of my other
hobbies and interests is cars. And there's a
manufacturer called Kuningsegg, which is in Sweden.
Different pronunciations of that as well. Yeah,
of course. Anyways, worth looking up if you're
into cars. Starts with a K. But we're going to
go south. We're going to go to the area. Oh,
my gosh. The land of glass. So there's an area
of Sweden that's known for glassworks and crystals.
What? Yeah, like crystal cups, glasses. So I'm
hoping to buy some glasses there and bring them
home. That's so cool. I know. Oh, Emily's missing
out. I love glass. If only we'd gotten married
earlier. What? Then you'd go along. Oh, it's
like permanent family only. It was spouses. I
don't even know if spouses were included. It's
a family heritage trip, so I should fill in everyone
who's still listening. We're going to go see
some of the people who are related to us in far
distant past, some of the Swedes. That helped
me with my blonde hair and tall height. Nice.
And then mom wants to show us some of the things
that her mom showed her in Sweden that were important
to my grandma. Her name was Gertrude by Trudy.
Trudy Johnson. So anyways, half of my family
was Swedish, and my mom wants to show us, me
and my brother, some of that history and some
of those places. Is your mom 100 % Swedish? she
is okay yeah my mom's well you know american
north america united states citizen right but
like uh from her heritage was all swedish yeah
because i told somebody at work this made me
smile my mom's maiden name was johnson so trudy
trudy's maiden name was uh swanson okay gertrude
swanson yeah and i don't know before that but
i think i remember If you go back, there's another
Johnson in that family. Really? Or another Johnson
Swanson. Like, you know, Johnsons, but they weren't
related to these Johnsons or something. Yeah,
of course. Or Swansons, I guess. And anyways,
you take away what you want from that. But yeah,
my dad's side didn't have any Swedish heritage.
So I'm a mixer. Yeah. But turned out tall and
arrogant. Eric, I'm 50 % German. Yeah. My mom's
100 % German. Yeah. From, where'd she grow up?
Bremen, Kansas. A lot of the, so I say that,
a lot of the small towns in Kansas, again, fun
fact for you who are not in Kansas, were settled
by Germans and Volga Germans, which was, you
can look that up too, but Volga with a V. They
were, transient through Germany. So they had
one generation in Germany from I think what was
Prussia? Now I'm guessing. And then came to the
U .S. and came west because it was open and they
could do what they wanted. And there's whole
communities like where I grew up, Hays, Kansas,
where there's very few last names. There's a
lot of shoemakers. There's a lot of Dinkles,
Schmitz. There's like huge families. And now
in modern culture, a lot of those people stay
there. Like my good friends from high school,
a lot of them still live there because they want
to be around their family. So big family town,
long history. And they think of themselves as
German heritage. That's kind of up for debate,
depending on who you ask. It's just one generation
in history. Like, Volga Germans are not Germans,
according to some other German heritage. Yeah,
if you were, like, fully German, like, your ancestors
are from Germany, you'd probably have a problem
with someone being like, I'm German. Who cares,
you know? But if that's part of your life, like,
we don't care, because... Yeah, we don't care.
Well, maybe you should care because you're going
on an international trip to meet your Swedish
family. Yeah, my roots. Yeah, so you seem like
you should care a little more. Well, about that,
but you know what I mean. So for the Volga Germans,
so if you go to Hayes, you can find in several
stores this food called a birak, which is like
sourdough or white bread, and it's filled with
hamburger and cabbage or lettuce. And then, you
know, you dip it in ketchup if you're me. And
it's like a hot pocket, like a heritage hot pocket.
And everyone there would tell you, oh, these
are German. They're from Germany. You know, sauerkraut
and now cabbage and hamburger, you know. They're
not from Germany. They're not in Germany. No
one knows what that is. A beer rock is not the
same thing in Germany. And it's not like the
Americanized version of a hamburger versus Hamburg,

You have a lot of history. The high school used
to make beer rocks by the hundreds and sell them
as a fundraiser. So the high school, I think
the cooks, you know, staff would volunteer to
make hundreds of these things. They'd sell them
packs of 12 frozen. Oh, my. Anyways, so we had
a lot of beer rocks growing up. Harmless, just
a little harmless fun. Yeah, a little crossover
of culture. Yeah. I'm going to try to learn some

we're meeting a lady named Monica. Oh. Who's
a relative of mine, I think. And my mom told
me another, a guy, he's too old to meet us now,
but she met with him when she went there last.
And I want to say his name was like Oslo. Cool
name. Oryx and something like that. Those were
very different names you just said. I think there's
a couple people in my mind. I was trying not

accurate, but we do have fun. You got to check
out the spreadsheet a little more. You got to

to Sweden. You're going to Sweden. I'm going
to Sweden. And you have to bring me back gifts.
