I sometimes think he says things just to see how worked up our media will get.

Might be one explanation as valid as anyone, Citizen 422
 - the latest I heard was that POTUS wants to open a consulate in Greenland AND that he thinks our Prime Minister is a wonderful woman after having talked to he on the phone ..... It says: 'Call that Frederiksen and tell her what she's done!" while POTUS is having a fit 'Me wants, me wants ...'  |

 That was a first for Denmark ..... All of the celebrations turned on him, though, so he had to drop out of his first race in that rainbow jersey in Belgium  |

On the 22nd of October this iconic lighthouse:
Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse will be moved some 60-80 meters inland to prevent it from slumping into the sea (in this case the North Sea).  |

The Rubjerg Knude lighthouse was re-inaugurated after being moved
with a party featuring among other things an acrobatic performance in the cold and rainy night. |

They have any plans for a retaining wall? Seems like that would be an easier fix than moving the whole lighthouse.

No, Citizen422.
It sits on a tall dune of sand some 80 feet high that is being worked on by the North Sea, which can be quite fierce at times. I hope the picture will give you an idea of the situation. It's not possible to protect is with any fortification which will not clash with our idea of beauty   |

19-Year-Old Recovers as Doctors Start to Harvest Her Organs
----------------------------------------The world of organ donation in Denmark is in turmoil. A documentary was aired earlier this month which showed family members reacting in anguish to the news that their 19-year-old daughter was brain dead after a car accident, agreeing to donate her organs and allowing doctors to turn off her respirator. About 1.7 million viewers tuned in to the heart-rending drama. But Carina Melchior did not die after her respirator was removed. She is now undergoing rehabilitation and may make a full recovery. About 500 people immediately removed their names from Denmark’s organ donor register. https://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/20/19-year-o...rt-to-harvest-her-organs/  |
