LOL, just laying there in the buff. These old Norwegian stories are pretty weird and doesn’t make sense half the time, but I didn’t want to embellish it.

Actually, that makes sense. Weird to us, but it wasn’t uncommon, on brutal summer days, for farmers to strip down to nothing and work the fields. They also weren’t prudes about public breastfeeding.

Geez, where did we go wrong?
