Where is the Old Zealand?

Where?

It is called Zeeland. Look in the left corner below on the map:

You got to it before me - of course. Even without anyone talking about French Fries! But then you are closer, too. To Zeeland, I mean.

Yep, I think I've learned about it at history lessons at school. The stuff about the Fries came to me in a more natural way.

We use to be good at exploring and having colonies; altough the inhabitans of most of those colonies at some point had a rather strong difference of opinion about that. New York use to be ours! Then our moral compass was a bit more calibrated towards towards a profit before anything else attitude...🤔

You have been closer to Zeeland for a couple of weeks recently; I was in Finnmark. The northernmost 'fylke' of Norway.

Water is safe if diluted with whiskey.

Why risk it when you have the dilutant?

The Dutch liked naming things Zeelandia. A fort at An Ping, too.

Just make sure you add enough whiskey. And don't start out with already watered whiskey. That's not safe. And adds unnecessary weight.

On a trip with a couple very experienced Russian campers in an area far remoter area than I camp now, I ask Vlad what they do in Siberia (where he learned to camp.) He said "50% vodka."

In the early years of my hiking adventures in Norway I encountered a Norwegian fellow who offered to add a clear liquid to my coffee. I asked what was in that bottle. “Ten percent water”, he replied! He made it himself...

It doesn’t seem to be on any maps.

Then many maps don’t have the New Zealand either.

Hi Racer

I have seen it on a map before I think it was near the Belgum border and near the sea so south west of Holland.
Holland like Italy was not always a unified country but rather regions with there own goverments before becoming one unified country
As I understand it

Salmon collars are awesome.

Like candy.

And Bob can smoke them on his grill.

If we're talking swimming, yes, you're probably right! Especially upstream. Bacon is terrible at swimming upstream.

Salmom can even be good food - provided you stay away from the farmed soy fed salmon.

We do that to cool down the coffee a bit, you see. Or else we would have to put stupid warnings on our coffee cups

And it's not ~~uncommon~~ legal to make the additive yourself.
