The Fighting Moose

Where did Thor get his hammer? I guess I always assumed that he had it with him since the beginning of his story but today, we find out where it came from. This will help people who like to know where things come from and their origin stories.

Fishing is fun. I truly enjoy spending time with family or friends and either wading in a creek, sitting on a river bank, or standing on the dock. It's just nice to get outside and spend that quality time. Well, if you like fishing, you'll probably enjoy today's episode. Thor catches something that isn't quite what most people go fishing for though.

I'm not really sure how an old Norse god made it into comic books but it does make it interesting, especially since I am a big fan of Norse mythology. I have heard that civilizations that used mythology, whether it be the Norse, Romans, Greeks, or whoever, used the mythology to explain things that happened in life.

John Paul Jones is a name that I have seen on different occasions throughout my readings of early America. I don't really know to what extent the part he played in the Revolutionary War but I do know that he had a part in it. He does seem to resonate a lot with what I have read about George Washington so I think I may be looking for a biography about John Paul Jones to read for my next book.

I love it when life events just happen to coincide with the stories I choose for the podcast. Last night, I got to thinking about raccoons when we were talking about scavengers at the dinner table. Then today, we read a story about raccoons. I love it!

When was the last time that you drove by a power plant? We did the other night as we went out for a family drive down the river. We drove past three of them, two on the US side and one of the Canada side and we got talking about how they burn coal to make steam to produce electricity. So I saw that story of “Watt and the Steam-Engine” in the Table of Contents of the recent book I found and here we are for today's episode.

It always seems that when people go against the norm, people always think they are crazy! It has always been a dream of mine to invent something that will revolutionize our world. Today, we read about how Galileo invented the telescope, was persecuted because his beliefs were different than the norms, and how he invented something that revolutionized an area of science.

It's always bittersweet coming to the end of a series but it must happen. Today marks the end of “The Snow Queen” series. Over the last 6 episodes, we have seen a young girl looking for her friend and pretty much going to the ends of the Earth to find him. Where will our next literary adventure take us? I don't know, but this one has been fun and I look forward to what's ahead in the future.

Do you have pride in your geographical home? I do, when I am out of state and people ask where I am from, I always get a great sense of pride to say that I am from Michigan. Today, in the sixth story in “The Snow Queen” saga, we meet two woman, and one of them is from Finland. I am not from there but I do feel a sense of belonging to that country because my wife's family has ties to that country.

Part 5 of our 7 part series! We are almost there. Today we get ready to visit the North Pole. What's up there? Besides Santa? From what I understand, it's a lot of ice and ocean. There isn't a land mass like at the South Pole. However, we see that Gerda is going to head there in search of her pal Kay after a short visit with a robber maiden.
