Here's the Dirt

If you’ve been to Lindsborg, you’ve seen the dala horse theme around town. The traditional dala horse is “Swedish red”, but several years back Lindsborg had a “wild dala” thing going in which “a large herd of alternately decorated” dalas were creatively designed and decorated by local artists and each dala horse has a special place embellishing my small town adding to Lindsborg’s special-ness. See more of Lindsborg’s wild dalas!

Mike was playing his guitar and wearing his “dirty dala” t-shirt (Hand-Dyed in Real Kansas Dirt). He then was drinking from our dala mug. Though most Swedes would drink coffee, this Scottish/Irish/Swedish/All American is drinking Earl Grey tea!

Speaking of coffee, Here is a joke that I like Mike to tell: A news reporter heard about the Swede named Ole who is said to drink 12 POTS of coffee a day and thought this would be a good story to report. Reporter: Ole, we understand that you drink 12 pots of coffee per day. Ole: Ya, I tink dats about right. Reporter: That’s a lot of coffee, Ole. Doesn’t all that coffee keep you awake.

Ole: Ya, I tink maybe it helps.
