Swell í Reykjavík.

Eins og brúsapallar, þá hafa saltkistur horfið inn í móðu sögunnar. Bráðum verða það frímerki og snúrusímar.

Lífið verður sleipara, sérlega þegar við tekur ný kynslóð. Eða ef maðurinn sem á að sjá um hlutina hættir að láta sjá sig.

One World Trade Center at 1368 feet

In our neighborhood they are building the One World Trade Center. The spire will reach a height of 1776 feet. An obvious historic reference. What is also obvious is that the roof of the building is at 1368 feet. That is the year of great importance when King Hakon 6th of Norway sent his last expedition to the Eastern Settlement of Greenland. It is not obvious what happened next, as history often is veiled in fog.
