Lock mystery / Good marketing / Not much happening here / A plan

To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects. Le Corbusier

Lock mystery

The front door of Our house (block of flats) is always locked. Before 9pm one can use a combination lock to open the door, so that we can key our way in. After 9pm the code lock does not work and we have to use our key. It does not bother me much, but it makes me wonder. Is it really so, that the thugs roaming the street after 9pm know the code and that's why the code lock is not on after 9pm? I have seen similar things earlier, and they have always been as mysterious.

Good marketing

According to Kössi an Italian shop in Tampere gives 10 percent discount to every customer, who is able hit the eye of Mr. Berlusconi with a dart. Quite a stand!

Not much happening here

Today's Helsingin Sanomat, the leading newspaper here, runs an article with the title "Two cars crashed each other head-on in Espoo". Well, I would have thought that having two cars doing so is the normal thing. If one or three would do so, that would really be news-worthy.

A plan

It is so dark and miserable here, that I am seriously considering having my holidays from mid-November to mid-January in some southern place. I think one could have 2 months of holiday by working some overtime in the autumn and spring. It would be just fine.
