A Blast from the Past

Strömstad 2003.05.03

The picture as a motif isn't very fancy. But as a timestamp, a flashback it is quite interesting. As the caption says it is close to five years old. In fact the oldest digital image I have from my own cameras*
An analyze of it is quite interesting:

i: Aftonbladet is something I haven't read since four years.
ii: I still drank beer enough to cause holes like that on the jeans
iii: the cell phones were slightly uglier and bigger
iv: not easy to tell just from the image, it requires some Adamology, but the family owning the cabin ain't my family anymore.
v: the wallpapers - you can really tell the image is old :)

So 2003. How far ago is that in other terms then.

March 20 - Land troops from US, UK, Australia and Poland invade Iraq

September 12 - Johnny Cash dies of a neuro-disease

September 14 - Sweden rejects adopting the Euro in a referendum

Wiki, 2003 writeup

But I was luckily unaware of the fact that Per Gessle and his "Här kommer känslorna på eeeeen och samma gång" were going to bother us for the whole summer, and that Miio's remake of "När vi två blir en" was released.
