Noble Friends, Especially Vikings:
Today, October 9th, is Leif Erikson Day. Didn't know we had such a
"holiday"? I didn't either. It is not recognized very much outside of
the upper Midwest, a place where many proudly claim Scandinavian
descent. Being only a proclamation day, amid a blizzard of such days
(including National Talk Like a Pirate Day!), Leif Erickson's
non-holiday tends to get overlooked:

Of course, if you want to know more about Leif Erickson himself, you
could read this Wikipedia site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_Erikson .
And here is a piece about Vinland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinland .
Yours Aye,
Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
