I don't think I've actually played played Oregon Trail, but I remember watching people play it at school. I know people were constantly dying of various diseases, and there was something about the wagon needing a new tongue. At the time, I thought it would be hilarious to have a wagon that used its tongue to talk a lot. Yeah, I made a lot of lame puns back then. Good thing I don't do that anymore. Oh, wait. I still do. {g}

Yesterday, while on my way to work, I slid off the road, and two guys in a truck had to help me back onto it. I'm lucky I didn't hit a telephone pole. The roads were really bad yesterday, yet they didn't close either bethje's school or the college where I work. Kind of odd, considering that they DID close at least Beth's school when the roads were much more navigable.

Oh, and I finished reading The Moorchild yesterday.

My whole family always died when I played that game and I was the only one who ever made it to Oregon City. "Bertha has been bitten by a snake!" (few minutes later) "Bertha has died!"

I also used to think it was a computer game we only had in Oregon until I found out everyone else played it in grade school too.
