Today was the 155th Anniversary of the Pony Express - when the first letter was delivered - so Google decided to have some fun with it.  If you clicked on the play button, you got to play a game.  You rode a horse, trying to collect letters and avoiding obstacles.  There were three areas of the game and you got a different horse every third of the trail.  Even though you were trying to avoid obstacles, it was entertaining when you did crash.  :)

My favorite was when you crashed into a water barrel and the horse gave you a score for your "dive" into the water.

  It also decided to snow today....  Goodbye Mt. Olympus.
