Hur blir man då jägare?

11:46 mareku 0 Comments

Förra året klarade över 10 000 personer jägarexamen i Sverige – en ökning med nära tio procent från året innan. Den som vill bli jägare behöver ha ett vapen och för det behöver man en vapenlicens. En sådan kan beviljas av polisen om man fyllt 18 år och tagit jägarexamen. Det finns även skogsbolag som söker jägare och det annonseras om platser i jaktlag.

You can clearly see that their coach is Peter de Jong, better known as 'Maxi' of Mini & Maxi. But their performance also has influences from Tommy Cooper, Jackass or even Monty Phython. And that makes - although the guys are good in what they are doing - the show predictable. I didn't see something new...

Faces of WWII - A book by Tom Sanders

When I wrote about Louie Zamperini earlier this year I used a photo which I found at a Bookreview website. It turned out that the picture was from photographer Tom Sanders who asked me, rightly so, to either remove the picture or give him credit. I removed the picture and put the cover of the book of Laura Hillenbrand in it instead. But when I had a closer look at the pictures Tom makes I knew I had to use at least on of them... :-)
The picture of Louie was taken for a book Tom made about The Faces and Voices of the Last "Good" War. It full of moving stories and the stunning photo's are really prove of that stories.
Have a look for yourself at Tom's website or see (and buy) the book at Amazon. I did (at amazon uk - at which the book is much cheaper and with free shipping...)

Dam to Dam - or not?

At the last moment I decided to run just 4M at the Dam to Dam - so actually is was a Dam to Dam, but then in Zaandam. I was very lucky because we only had a few drops during the run and I ran a smooth 35 minutes.
