We had, I mean, anybody traveling to Linköping or anybody who's ever been there knows that there's a stream going through the city and it's like a built stream and it's in the form of sort of a city park, if you will. It's not just sort of licking between the houses. It's like a long, long park that goes through the town.

And because it's part of a system called Yatakanal, a channel, it's adjoined to Yatakanal. It has these sluices and stuff, so you can actually take the boat and travel. Oh, that's cool. And where I grew up and where my kindergarten was... It's still there. It's still a functioning kindergarten, like a daycare place. It was really nice because we had it.

It was sitting right next to, very near the stream. So there was like a huge park, like a big park right next to where we were. And we had the sluice, you know, where old wooden boats would come and they would, you know, fill the water up. But there was also like a waterfall there. It's actually a pretty beautiful place. If anybody travels to Linköping at some point, go down to Hawaii.

It's called Hawaii because it's like a little peninsula where me and my friends and everybody we knew would go with six packs and get fucked up. We all have that one place.

Not when I was in kindergarten, but... Anyway, there's this character in Swedish folklore called Nekken. And he is like a naked man sitting. That's scary. In a waterfall or where the water streams downstream. And he would sit there and play fiddle naked. And if you ever hear him, you will be enchanted by his playing. And you will... And he will lure you, and he will drown you.

I like the fiddle music. When I was little, and we were down there playing, you couldn't help but to sort of think that if there was such a thing as neck in, he would probably sit right over there. Sounds like it. Because that is a typical neck in place to sit. Yeah.

Yeah, I remember that now.
Yeah, I remember that now.
Exactly. And I might have been also disturbed by, do you still have that insect infestation in Pittsburgh? That was crazy. Which one?

That was what I was referring to. But conclusively, I just want to say we are coming to Pittsburgh. You are?
