Today’s podcast claims that some of the few Lenape Indians left around here asked their medicine man if the winter was going to be cold. He didn’t know for sure, so he just told them that, “Yes it will be cold. You should go and collect firewood to be prepared.” Then he called the National Weather Service, and asked “Is this winter going to be cold?” The weather guy said “Yes this winter is going to be quite cold.” So the medicine man went back to speed up his people to collect even more firewood, so they’d be prepared. A week later the medicine man called the Weather Service again and asked if it was going to be a very cold winter. The weather guy said, “Yes, I can guarantee this is going to be a very cold winter.” So the medicine man went back to his people and told them to go and find every scrap of wood they can find. Two weeks later he called the Weather guy again, and asked, “Are you sure it’s going to be a very cold winter? The guy answered, “Absolutely. “The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy.”
