That sounds like something I definately could try. Maybe not today, but some day.
Holy ****, that is a nice offer to just put out there! I would love to and a few years ago I just might have picked you up on that! I've been to the US once in my teens, but mainly just got to see the tourist parts of SF (Alcatraz and stuff... Well, we did get the tour of Silicon Graphics, which was pretty cool back then. Fun story, our bus driver complained about the traffic, said women were putting on makeup and all the yuppies were talking on their mobile phones. As this was in 1998 and cellphones were pretty much just becoming availiable for the general public, I guess he felt the need to ask us poor kids all the way from cold and underdeveloped Sweden if we knew what mobile phones were. It was kind of funny, as we had Ericsson and Finland Nokia and we had the highest ratio of cellphones per capita in the world at the time. But i digress...). I would like to see more of the US some day, but it will be a couple of years I think before we go anywhere (just had our second kid a few months ago).
On another note, the hunting debate that has broken out. I'm sure you all really want more opinions, so here's mine. I'm ok with it. Hunting and fishing is not my idea of fun, not because of morality, just tedious. I could probably kill an animal if needed. In fact, if someone offered me to kill a cow that is being slaughtered and I could get instructions and whatnot so I could do it correctly, then I would. As I do eat meat, I would think it would be hypocritical to distance yourself from what it really is. Would I enjoy it? Hell no!
