Sweden coronavirus press conference, April 10, 2020

This press conference was different from all the others. This time, all the speakers (and there were four) were women. How nice. Instead of either Anders Tegnell or Anders Wallensten, the main epidemiologist was this lady. She speaks so nicely and clearly. Anders Tegnell is always slurring his words and ending in a mutter. Her… Continue reading Sweden coronavirus press conference, April 10, 2020

Carl Larsson in the US

I once wrote about finding Carl Larsson cards in Berkeley, California, and in Davis, California. Well, I have found some more Carl Larsson artifacts in the US.

He was still selling bokmärken, and there were different varieties than the last time I'd been… Continue reading More bokmärken in the US
