By the way, the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington, D.C. informs me that my favorite source of news about our gallant allies in the War against Terror, the "Aftenposten," is actually a morning newspaper, not an afternoon newspaper.....hmmmmm, by its name, it suggests something like the "Afternoon Post," but I know less Norwegian than I do Bulgarian, and so had assumed wrong.
"Ping" for the "Norway ping list."
I have to thank Fredo1070 for getting me in touch with the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington, D.C., which has kindly agreed to keep me informed about news and people in Norway, the Nebraska of Europe.
Nice woman, "Inge," at the embassy there; she sounds unmarried; I think I shall pester her with more questions.
I also have to thank Eurotwit for that long list of kings of Norway; the local library here has gotten me biographies of four of them, so I can figure out what went wrong with Norway in between 1340 and 1905.
