The End

Due to time contraint and a lack of readers, I've decided to stop posting to this blog.

All old observations will still be here to view as long as they will let me.

I've started a new blog (in Swedish) at http://no17sthlm.blogspot.com for those of you who can read Swedish.

Thanks for the interest in my observations.
