I wouldn't mind touching on this for a moment.

There's a news story that Kathy was reporting on earlier, down by Boathouse Row.

Somebody went and tied a rope to a statue and drug it into the river.

A statue of Thorfin Carlsefni.

Do we know the history on Thorfin Carlsefni?

He was a Viking.

I do.

What is this story?

The only reason I know is that I went to Iceland in the spring, and he's a national hero there.

Okay. And then there were the explorers from Norway and Iceland who made their way like Erickson.

Lee Perkins. And Gus. Dinga, dinga, dinga, dinga. And he was the most famous, but and Gus Erickson, of course. Yeah. But they, so these Icelandic explorers came to the state, well before Christopher Columbus, this guy was one of those national heroes and an explorer. I think I was wrong with Inga Dinga Dinga. It's from the SpongeBob. They have Leaf Erickson, Dave. My kids would know. Carter, call me. Parker, call me, let me know. But there's a little greeting. dinga digga it. So anyway, this, this, a large statue, which we have to assume has some weight to it.

Yeah.

Pulled off the stand and into the river.

And into the river, and I don't know why.

But I was curious, do you guys, do you ever stop and take a look at a statue?

All the time.

And see who that person was. a statue? All the time.

Yes. I do from time to time because I'll go, okay.

Who's that?

Somebody thought this person was worthy enough to create a statue and put it here and have it, you know, stay forever.
