Week 3 Biking Report and Government Lesson

I loved biking this week - the weather was nice and it's such good exercise. The part of west campus that I go through south of 29th street stresses me out a little bit because of all the student drivers. The good thing: there are tons of bikers in that area and bike lanes (although merely a suggestion at best). So at least I'm not going to be a big surprise to drivers.

Cyrus and I are going to explore other options so I don't have to stress so much in there. :)

And now for our government lesson. Basically, the US of A is not a democracy - it is a republic. I didn't try too hard to find sources to check the information, but based on a Wikipedia article on "Republic", I wonder if it is really as simple as the lesson describes.

Anyway, here it is if you have 10 minutes for an interesting lesson: American Form of Government video from wimp.com
