While I was at Panera's early this evening, enjoying a very hot cup of chai, writing a letter about how the early darkness of winter was playing tricks with my mind, I overheard a guy talk about the same thing. What he said made me raise an eyebrow because I found it so odd.

He said, "It gets so dark, so early. I could never live in Sweden."

Now, I really found that odd because I don't usually hear people make that comparison... it's usually the Alaska thing, right? "I could never live in Alaska and live with 17 hours of darkness." (or however long it is)

Sweden? HUH?
