I didn't know you had such a strong aversion to veterinarians, Niagara. You can't bear to live any closer than 45 minutes away from one?

My wife and I were so taken by Norway when we visited there last summer that we briefly pondered moving there. I did some Google research and found out that the criteria for becoming a citizen includes learning the language, so we'd have to put our noses to the grindstone, but you also have to live in Norway for five years before being eligible to purchase a property.
We're staying put, but it's a wonderful country over there.

I've lived in this place for 30 years and I love it, and I hate moving. Just about killed me last time.
