So we’ve stayed in touch with our exchange partners from Norway (click here for some back story), as the guys really developed a good friendship while we were exchanging. Sounds strange, but they chatted just about every day and found a mutual interest in cultural observations. Anyway, last night Jon got a message from him. Apparently there is a new house being built next to theirs, and the builders are blasting some rocks to clear the home site. Their daughter had wanted to go outside to play, but her Dad said no, he hadn’t remembered hearing the all clear signal. All was definitely not clear. The builders set off a final blast that sent huge pieces of rock – boulders – into their yard and into the neighbors’ yards, missing their car by mere centimeters. Look:
Those big ass rocks that look like landscaping are actually the “debris” from the blast. Holy crap!
But wait a second…that’s not the car that we were using, the one with 468,000,000,000,000 kilometers on it, built in 1927 or thereabouts. That looks like our car that they were using at our house, the brand new 2009 we bought before our exchange. Did they steal it???
