Good morning, Texan! Just in case you were wondering, your ancestors missed out on our favorite brew according to AI…
Vikings did not drink coffee. There is little evidence to suggest that coffee was known or consumed during the Viking Age. The coffee plant’s spread to Europe did not occur until the 16th century, long after the Viking era had ended.
However, AI also indicates that in present day…
Norway is indeed a significant coffee-drinking country. Norwegians have one of the highest per capita coffee consumption rates in the world, consistently ranking among the top countries globally. Recent studies indicate that Norway, along with other Nordic nations, leads in coffee consumption, with levels well above the European average.
Coffee Culture
Norway’s coffee culture is characterized by a strong preference for high-quality brews, often enjoyed in social settings. The country has a rich café culture, contributing to its high consumption rates. Historically, total coffee consumption in Norway reached an all-time high of 64.0 kilotonnes in 2020.
Ancestry counts!

Good morning, Lucille, Wee and Tex,
Lucille, thank you for the reminder that spring comes even later in some parts of the world.
I see coffee’s on for night owls and early birds, thanks to our own hardy Norwegian-derived fully American, Tex!
And Wee, how do you do it? Thorbob?!
Are you sure that a Norwegian would want to leave Texas? Maybe just to gather the relatives?

Pro-Life Father Targeted By Biden’s FBI Wins $1M Settlement
By Margaret Flavin Apr. 15, 2026 12:20 pm
During the Biden administration, pro-lifers were routinely targeted by the Department of Justice.
In 2022, under the leadership of then Attorney General Merrick Garland, father of seven and pro-life warrior Mark Houck was arrested in Pennsylvania as dozens of fully-armed FBI agents raided his home and terrified his family.
