You've probably seen rosemåling before, even if the word is new to you. It's a style of Norwegian folk painting that features leaves, flowers, geometric patterns, and lush scrollwork. Since my family is very proud of its Norwegian heritage, and since both my mom and nana were really interested in folk painting when I was growing up, I've been surrounded by rosemåling for as long as I can remember.

Further disruption was anticipated on non-strike days, due to the displacement of trains and shift patterns.

I asked him if it had been a hard fight. Not really, he said.

No thanks, I'm ok. I've had approximately 270 μL too much.
