@Steve Angell Correct on both. And Congrats on your first rank.👌

so much to be thankful for.....why do I fret over 1 or two thorns???

speaking of money......studied my P&L today. know what that is ? but fall is here and I'm visiting a beautiful state.

@Steve Angell A great deal of patriot mythology out there...we need to be diligent.🇺🇸

So sad that so few understand the basic realities of the Country we live in.

Hey @woodsracer544

Seems to me people still falsely believe Columbus discovered America. It was always on maps and the Vikings lived in America and Canada back then and long before then.

👍 @Steve Angell

but but *MUH* Columbus Day!!

@Steve Angell yes. artifacts say so.

Original Collateral in 1913 was the U.S. Treasaury.

I lived in Halifax Nova Scotia for six months. Viking settlements all across Nova Scotia. Most predating Columbus. They laughed so hard at us stupid Americans believing in that myth.

In fourteen hundred ninety-two

Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

Leif Erickson Day!

@Steve Angell yep

But he hit the Bahamas..thinking it was India...Hence "Indians"

He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.
He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.

I do not buy that for a second. It was just about coming over here to start a war and annihilate any who lived here to steal what they could.

Hi @Bronsonite

A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.
Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.

@kreskin1 Right Leaf Ericson Day 😉

They used a sextant. The stars they knew exactly where they were at all times.

@Notsoperfect I love that song

It is just a tall tale about the compass and needing a watch.

Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.
Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.
October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!

@Notsoperfect but, muh flat earth.

😂

Happy. Hey we have found something to steal. Found some women to rape.

I am sure it wasn't the first.. that men did bad things.. nor was it the last

Flat Earth - Poem by Richard Dates

Autoplay next video
In ancient times, before our days,
From schools of learning far away,
Wise teachers taught the world was flat,
And few would dare to question that,
Then it was found,
The earth was round.

Though not so sure it was Ice back then. 1500 Era maps show land and people down there.

@Notsoperfect In ancient times, before our days,
From schools of learning far away,
Wise teachers taught the world was flat,
And few would dare to question that,
Then it was found,
The earth was round.

In shame, they fled their hallowed grove,
And wandered ragged and in disgrace,
Until they found within a cove,
A dark and secret hiding place,
A mental maze
In infinite haze.

beat you to it

LOL

wow. a dual
