Cool list - I think I need to run it on my blog too. :)
Impressive list...I've been to Niagara several times...but I've never ridden an elephant :o)
Actually, I think you did bounce a check - your first checking account - when you were in college. We had some trouble with that account, as we thought it had overdraft protection and it didn't.

Hi Kate!
Just posted a pic of your arch, with a link to your blog. I've also answered this poll (a few days before you), but my version went to #110.
don't peek yet, if you want your arch to be a surprise. Hope to get it in the mail tomorrow (or Wed).
