The Swedish vimple is flying high at the Geeky Swedes house today, and you’ll see a few other light blue and yellow flags flying around Ballard. It’s the National Day of Sweden, also called Swedish Flag Day. “Why should Norwegian’s have all the fun?” Julie emailed us.

My name is Irish, but I'm not so much. In fact, my Irish lineage dropped the 'Mc' to be able to find work in this country back in the day…

That was the story for many. If you drop the O from my mom's name you get a town in Nevada.

Hurra for svenska..volvos…saabs…etc
But I think that Norwegians deserve our/their fun.
It is almost the Icelandic day (June 17)too! I wonder if that includes the faoroese?

Looks like you can cross Saabs off that list.
