Tonight I opened my mbcnews feed to find embedded in the news articles an advertisement in Norwegian!  Somehow a vendor’s ad bot embedded in the news feed (shamelessly I might add), recognized my GPS location and chose to speak to me in my “native tongue”!”  There sits an ad for refinancing my home in Norwegian.  It’s taboola based advertising. Something I have been knocking back whenever one pops up.  These guys are tenacious.

Arrrrrrrggggggg   how do you say that in Norwegian?

Then this evening walking back from a rousing “jaunt” in the sauna, outdoor Jacuzzi, Sauna, and weight room, I approached a fellow sipping his down jacked over his down vest, his cap pulled low over his face.  I was dripping from the last shower clad in my swim suit and a T-shirt.  “How Crazy ARE You?” He asked.  If only I had known to answer in German, “Zehr Verruckt”   Very Crazy.    Instead I said, “well there’s no snow on deck.  I couldn’t get out and roll in it this time”, something I may do given the opportunity.  He just glared.
