Thor Heyerdahl was a Norwegian adventurer. Heyerdahl is notable for his Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947, in which he sailed 5,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean in a hand-built raft from South America to the Tuamotu Islands. The expedition was designed to demonstrate that ancient people could have made long sea voyages, creating contacts between societies.
I do not wish to appear more intelligent than I am because my readers love me for being simple minded. So I confess….I do not recall having ever heard of Thor Heyerdahl in my entire life.
I am sure of this one fact. If anyone had made a statue of Thor, in America, it would have been defaced with spray paint by the BLM Artists, beheaded and tossed into the ocean. Simply because, being from Norway, Thor would have matched the lighter colors on the Sherwin Williams paint chart, if you know what I mean. (wink, nod)
The only reason I stumbled across Thor Heyerdahl’s name is because I read a quote from him that I appreciate.
“Progress is man’s ability to complicate simplicity.” -Thor Heyerdahl-
The reason I appreciate Thor’s words of wisdom is because I have one of the new and improved, agitator-free washing machines. They use less water. I like that….I am a Conservative, you know.
On the down side, I must Wash my Washing Machine occasionally or it will smell as if “it used less water when washing my clothes.” My manual recommends Tide cleaner, so I use any brand other than Tide because I like to spread the wealth around.
My dishwasher also requires a special Washing now.
All this, in the name of progress. As my newfound friend, Thor Heyerdahl pointed out:
Let’s complicate simplicity.
( I am considering buying a new vacuum cleaner, but I will keep the old one just in case I have to…..
There once was a man and a woman who had been married for more than 60 years. They talked about everything. They kept no secrets from each other… except that the old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she cautioned her husband never to open it or ask her about it.
For all these years he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would never recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside. She agreed it was time that he should know what was in the box.
When he opened it he found 2 beautifully crocheted doilies and a stack of money totaling over $25,000. He asked her about the unusual contents.
“When we were married,” she said, ” my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily.”
The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears. Only two precious doilies were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with joy and happiness.
“Sweetheart,” he said… “that explains the doilies, but what about all this money? Where did it all come from?”
Oh,” she said, ” that’s the money I made from selling the doilies.”
The left, dems, wokers, msm, and union teachers want to destroy LATINO, Spanish is historically based on a male, and a female reference. The dems want to sterilize the language like ( birthing people ), until the change back to women when the Supremes leak happened.
The Technology Editor: What is going on with technology, LL ?
The Science Cat: The first item is Joe and his fake office across from the White House. His many caregivers say he uses the fake office because they have installed a permanent teleprompter for his convenience.
This first came to our attention last Winter when flowers were blooming in his window. Most everything Joe says or does is as fake as Nancy or Schumer telling the truth. One report reveals that when Obama wants to use the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office he sends Joe to the fake office.
