Buy buy buy , sell sell sell.

It's still raining and the early autumn seems to have started.

On related news all of southern-Finland along with the western parts of the country have been ravaged with a huge storm. Some people are dead , trees have fallen into buildings and general disorder has been experienced in some parts of the country. Yesterday we had a complete black-out of a medium-sized suburban area near here. Our lights were out for about an hour too.

The biggest story right now is a commercial chopper that crashed into the sea yesterday in mysterious conditions while moving passengers from the port of Helsinki to the Estonian capital of Tallinn. Twelve people are dead. Two of them were Americans and the rest were Finnish and Estonian business exec's. I've heard about a dozen conspiracy/sabotage/terrorism - stories and claims about the incident today. Although I'll have to admit that the whole accident was pretty damn surprising. Choppers haven't crashed like that before here. I'd say that if the chopper wasn't downed by clever Al-Qaeda sabotage conducted in the port of Helsinki by Osama Bin Laden himself , then the weather must've had something to do with it.

On the "not-so-related-news" front I decided to sell some stuff in a Finnish internet auction site. It's just a pair of old Swedish army webbings that have laying around for some time. Hopefully some kid might buy em' soon enough since I'd really need money. And fast.

Finally , since I more or less re-discovered the wonderful world of internet-auctioning , I've decided to get rid of some more stuff. But this time , it'll be purely normal clothing that has also been laying around my room "way too long".
