Lena and Ole... and sunshine!

Two more Lena and Ole submissions, straight from Ballard, WA:

After Ole died, Lina paid $50 for his obituary. She told them it should say "Ole died." They told her it was 5 words for $50, and she could have three more at no extra cost. "Okay -- Ole died. Boat for sale."

Lena says to Ole, "Ole, ya know why I like fish better dan meat now?"
Ole says, "No Lena, why do you like da fish better dan da meat now?"
Lena responds "Because, Ole, deez days, all dat meat is FARMED."

(Maybe you have to be from the anti-fishfarming strongholds in the Northwest U.S. to understand that last one?)

Also, I am happy to report that it was sunny today! I went for a hike in the mountains right next to the city, and then rock climbing out at the coast. A beautiful day.
