Swedish gnomes

Maybe they just needed some time to commune with nature.

Twelve garden gnomes kidnapped in western Sweden a month ago have been found in a snowy forest, standing in a ring beside a lighted bonfire and a small hut, Swedish news agency TT reported.

"It looked very cozy," Bo Larsson, a police officer in the town of Kil, near Karlstad, told TT on Friday.

The gnomes mysteriously vanished from their gardens just before Christmas. […]

p.s. This is the 500th post for the new (foamtotem era) popplers.

I've been on foamtotem.org (using Movable Type) since October 2003. But before that (August 2000 through October 2003), I used to do popplers by hand, with an HTML editor and FTP software— no fancy blogging software for me. (That was a pain. Movable Type is much nicer.) So, all told, I've posting random bits for over 5 years.
