Well known Saskatoon educator Wayne Dyck, a cancer survivor and all around good-guy is setting out from Victoria tomorrow morning to ride his bike across the country. He is raising money for the Childrens Hospital in Saskatoon and hopes to be in St. Johns Newfoundland just over two months from now, around July 10th. You can read his story and make a donation by checking out his website here.

This story from England  got me thinking about all those small appliances people use for years...do you have one?
