We finished the terrace in the north side of the Bodø 360 building. Last week weather conditions were different. I mean, every five minutes there was a change. And none of them reminded me of the one from my birth place during summer. All of it apparently typical from this part of the world. Rather …

The eye of the tiger.
1982. Gyms all around the world changed after that year. The most famous US Governor, Arnold, was by then 3 times winner of the Mr Universe title and 7 of Mr Olimpia. His main role in the film «Conan, The Barbarian» fill up the wallets of many gyms owners. My contribution was no so spectacular …
Simon and Saltstraumen
There are people in this world with much more experienced than me. But still after thirty years of selling my time for money, not for nothing, it is difficult to accept that air moving at almost 100 km/h forced me to stay away from work. This free day offered by the Norwegian nature allowed me …
