Thanks for the ping.

It’s obvious to me that the Vikings “discovered” North America, but they got their asses kicked by the local indigenous tribes and an ice age.

Fast forward in history 500 years, and Europeans are showing up on the same shores with superior ships again, but this time around they had gunpowder. That was the difference.

"I do know that Dec 7 was the day Pearl Maki got bombed in Two Harbors."

Which reminds me of the guy who was half Black and half Japanese.

Every December 7th he attacked Pearl Bailey.
