mri or the vine



So, in researching some eponyms to make a fun quiz for my classmates, I've discovered that in addition to a Merritt, BC (home to the Merritt Mountain Music Festival), there is also a Kyle, SK, (home to 500 people and a sweet statue of Wally the Woolly Mammoth). Who was, coincidentally, born exactly 64 days after I was. Which, if you add up and divide by the number of people that could comfortably fit in my new apartment at any one time (4....max) equals 16......as in 16 Juke Box Greats- the first tape I ever owned. Won it at the trade fair. My favourite song on that tape? Woolly Bully.

Whoa.

So it's decided. Road trip from Kyle to Merritt this summer. I hope Douglas isn't far out of the way.

Hope you enjoyed the Gorilla. I did.
