What the hell?

[Photos Can Be Dangerous]

Since we've recently been discussing breathalyzers, I thought you might find the following entertaining:

Tarja holding a "DriveGuard"
Irene holding aforementioned gadget
(See where we're going with this?)

Irene almost ready to take the plunge
Tarja in action
(Blow baby, blow! Note: Bottle of white wine in the forefront that contributed to this grand scheme.)

And, surprisingly,
the two of us standing before we hit the town.

Brb.

We had fun that night. Leo (Tarja's Dad) is Gadget Man. He owns more plug-in appliances than anyone I know. In his kitchen we regularly checked our blood pressure. (I was shocked to see myself fall in the acceptable range.) I'm sure if we looked closely enough, there'd be caliper pins stashed away. On this particular eve, Tarja whipped out what I'm sure is a big seller in Finland. The Drive Guard proved effective for us, and we had a cab pick us up. (Pekka hadn't imbibed at all. However, we had plans to intoxicate the boy along with us.)

And that was my send off from Turku. Skeleton crew to start. And then we met up with Henri & co. later. Thank goodness I had the sense to leave my camera at home.
