henrietta the bike, the curvature of the earth, and one more sleep

first off: i got a new bike. her name is henrietta. she looks like so: http://www.fujibikes.com/2007/bikes.asp?id=323 She makes me go real fast. beat that other bike. not that i didn't like my other bike, i just like henrietta better. now i just need the weather to cooperate more so that i can ride to work more.
secondly: we went to saskatoon and had a blast! we did not see the curvature of the earth because you can't. max visability is actually 24km. it was still fun though. we went to moosejaw for the day and visited both of the local attractions: the moosejaw tunnels and the casino. the tunnels are similar to storyeum, but are actually successful. there were 2 tunnels, one told the story of the chinese workers who were not treated nicely by the whites, and how they lived in these tunnels and only went out for fresh air at 3 in the morning because then all the white folks would be asleep. the second tunnel was about a bootlegging operation during prohibition. apparently al capone had a canadian division. at the casino, we won $60. not bad. it paid for the tunnels :)
and tomorrow is the big day! my big sis and nephew make a trans-atlantic flight. they better be ready for a fun filled summer. there's going to be lots of spoiling for both of them!
yay!

Cool, auntie reunited with her nephew. I'm sure you're doing a great job of introducing him to his Canadian roots. Can he have slurpees by now?
