While shopping at Goodwill, I found a wide camp bed. The cashier asked me about the cot
and I mentioned Society for Creative Anachronism events. The cashier
said he did Norse events and was looking for a new shield. Somehow the
topic came up about how we were building a dragonship for the WA State Fair for our
Icelandic horses and I was looking for Viking arms for kids to wear
for photo ops. The cashier said, "Wait right here. There's some treasure you need to see." He got a manager to cover for him and ran off. He came back a few minutes later with a double headed ax, two Viking helmets, and Mjǫllnir, Thor's hammer. When I asked his name to thank him, he said Thor. I was taken aback but I checked his name tag which did indeed say Thor. So when kids ask us where we got the hammer, we can truthfully say that Thor gave it to us.
