Why?

If you specifically ask your students to send in their answers to the exam in word-format, why do they persist in using formats I can't open?

Forest fires

It hasn't rained for a month and it has also been very hot. In the north of Sweden there's a huge forest fire and there are several smaller ones around Göteborg, I van feel the smoke smell even here in the centre of the town.
I wish it would rain soon, it won't help against fires already burning, but it would help prevent new ones.

Getting older - and looking it

I will probably be annoyed with it later, but right now I am actually mostly fascinated by how old I look in these photos where I don't smile; seems like I'm finally looking my real age.
