There's A New Superhero Team InWorld

A new superhero team premiered last night in SecondLife. It's the Amazingly Patient and Never Cranky Bock McMillan and his cute sidekick Tomais.
"I'm Starsky, he's Hutch" by Tomais Ashdene
It is rumored that Bock is a gay nobleman who steals from the rich to give to the poor and fights crime, injustice and for the Scandinavian way of life diligently as he goes along. 

Most of Bock's superpowers haven't been revealed yet but it is known that he can fly, teleport and charm the pants of anyone with his dazzling smile.

The Shortest Days 2014

In my hometown of Lund, Sweden, today sunrise occurred at 08:35 AM CET and sunset at 03:36 PM CET. We had daylight (sort of) only for 7 hours and 57 seconds. Tomorrow on December 22nd we will have approximately the same times for both sunrise and sunset but the day will be less than a second shorter.

After these two days the days will get steadily longer everyday until the Summer solstice occurs on June 21st 2015, when we will have daylight for 17:32:40. Further north in the country the swings in daylight are even more dramatic, where the sun never rises or sets North of the Polar Circle.

It isn't at all strange that we Scandinavians go crazy with mood swings during winters and summers.

A part of SecondLife reality. The green blob is someone on my blocklist,
most likely one of "the four in one" shieldmaidens because I cannot remember
anyone else in the Scandinavian community that I could have blocked

To the Scandinavians in SecondLife

Jag önskar er alla en underbar jul med mycket god mat, goda drycker, trevligt sällskap och massor av julklappar! 

Om ni ska ut på vägarna och fara så kör försiktigt i halkan. Det är bättre att komma fram lite senare, än att inte komma fram alls.

Många kramar,
Bock

For secular Scandinavians the main event of Christmas is traditionally Christmas Eve. This is the day we get together with our families and friends to eat, drink and be merry. This of course also the day we share gifts with each other.
