Stamp of the day: squids, whales and other politicians

Tonight's stamp ends the whale/val-theme here at the blog.  This goosebeak whale is more commonly called Cuvier's Beaked Whale (Ziphius cavirostris), and it eats deepsea fish and squids as you can see on this Dominican stamp. And with that, we close this Swedish val-watching season on the blog.

So, LS? Did you vote? I did, but it didn´t help... :). Sweden is not the "best-in-class" country anymore, we have all the problems the surrounding countries ahve too, only we have chosen to neglect to mention it until now. And now we have rasists in our elected government!!! Bad indeed!

So, no real whalewatching will occur on the blog, that´s to bad. I would like to go to Norway and see the killer whales. OK did that once.

No, I didn't vote. They forgot to send me the election envelopes, all I got was the voting card. All the voting material was missing, despite that it said in the letter it should have been sent at the same time as the voting card. Too bad. The only way I could have voted would have been to travel to the embassy in Washington, DC, which I didn't have time to. Too bad, even if one vote wouldn't have helped them much...
