The Fighting Moose

Today's story is my life story. Not really, it's a story about Jason and the Argonauts. I've been meaning to do a story about Jason and his crew but never got around to it for some reason so here we are today, retelling the story of how Jason and the Argonauts won the golden fleece.

The University of Michigan Wolverines versus The University of Wisconsin Badgers. Who is your pick to win? That is a rivalry that happens a lot since both teams compete in the Big 10 conference in college sports. However, today, we aren't looking at the sporting aspect of the rivalry but we actually read a story about the lives of a wolverine and a badger.

War dogs have been used since colonial times here in America. I don't know if you have seen it or not, but in 2015 a movie titled “Max” was released which was based on a true story about a war dog. My son and I have watched that like a million times as well as reading other books about war dogs. As far as a quick Google search showed, I could not find any information about a Civil War era dog named Carlo but I did find a document giving more information about war dogs from colonial times to Vietnam.

Let's hang out in Scandanavia again with another story from the book “Asgard Stories: Tales from Norse Mythology.” It seems that this year's theme for my reading will be Norse mythology. This will be the second episode from the Norse myths and I am currently reading a series about the Asgardians. If you are like me, I tend to start on a topic and then pretty much read all I can until I am satisfied in my readings and then move on. That is how my historical readings seem to play out anyway. What about you, what do you like to read about? Drop me a line and let me know.

At work a while ago, I heard a child's name called. The name was Freyja. My first though was, hmm, that's interesting, because I don't think I have ever met a Freyja. My second thought was, that's an idea for a story for the podcast! So here we are, reading about Freyja today. I have always enjoyed Norse mythology, maybe it's my inner Viking coming out but I think it's better than Greek or Roman. Which do you prefer?

On January 17th, 2020, Benjamin Franklin will be 324 years old! That's pretty old! Did you also know that he was a signer of the Declaration of Independence? To my knowledge, I didn't know that. That's why I like to read about history. As I have said before, history was never fun for me as a kid in school. My thirst for historical knowledge came about within probably the past 7 years or so. Hopefully you like that historical podcasts, I know I do. I feel like I learn something new every time I read a historical story.

On average, the Sun sits about 93,000,000 miles away from the Earth. That's a lot of miles. Well, in today's story, we see two competing space-craft companies race to the Sun and back and we see what the surface of Mercury looks like, I think. I've never been there and I don't think I have ever seen any pictures but we can use Mr. Elam's description and create our own mental image.

Space, the final frontier. One day, I hope to make it to space. I don't think I'll ever make it to the International Space Station (ISS). According to a co-worker, the plan is to crash the ISS, much like the Chinese Space Station, in the ocean in 2024. Oh well, I'll still keep an eye out and watch it go by over head. In today's episode, we see how a father and his kids takes an adventure to a space station and see how space “was” in 2004!

Treasure hunts are always fun. While I have never done an actual treasure hunt, as is the case with the guys looking for treasure on Oak Island, I still like to find treasure in other ways. For example, I like to find change on the ground when walking into or out of stores, finding treasures at the local thrift shop, or just finding funny pictures, memes, or videos on Facebook.

At one point in my career, I wanted to be a wildland firefighter. I actually went through a process to get there. Then again, at that time, there were a lot of future jobs that I was looking at. Now, I am a full-time firefighter/paramedic. So today's story strikes home with me since it talks about what I do for a living. This is the last episode of 2019, so, see ya next year!
