Viisautta ja sivistystä huokuu tästä synttärihaastattelusta. Seppo Lindblom puolustaa velanhoidon ja puolustuksen pinteeseen jäänyttä hyvinvointia. Ja tutkimusta! Paras on silti tämä: ”-Mitä sanoisit 20-vuotiaalle itsellesi? -En kaksikymppisenä kuuntelisi näin vanhojen miesten neuvoja.”

20 straight days with 30 °C in Finland! Truly unprecedented heatwave still in full swing with maximum today about 32-33 degrees. Even the Arctic regions (e.g. Sodankylä Tähtelä) have seen three weeks above 25 °C, and may rival tomorrow their August heat records.
