Yes, I voted. I even posted a picture of myself rocking my “I Voted” sticker, on Facebook. (I’ll spare you that shocking image.) I voted at a very lefty church (not of the Lutheran denomination I usually gripe about), and it was festooned with banners and signs about peace and LGBTQ and Hate Has No Home Here (Unless it’s hatred for Trump. And Israel). But I made my way in and out without being discovered as a heretic.

The video above is a small treat for those who’ve read my Erling Skjalgsson books. You may recall from The Baldur Game how the hero’s corpse was carried down the peninsula, with the local freedmen raising memorial stones at each camping spot. This video (unfortunately it’s in Norwegian without English captions) shows you two of those stones, which are still standing. And it ends at Sola Church (a stone church which had not yet been built in Erling’s day).
