Welcome to our home, Prashant
Prashant in our kitchen making lunch
Prashant will be interning at the Suzanne and Walter Scott, Jr. Bioengineering Building. ” The cornerstone of Colorado State University’s Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering, this state of the art, LEED certified building houses CSU research labs, classes, faculty, and staff”. We had the pleasure of having Prashant stay with us for a week before he moved into an apartment near campus.
This blog was started 11 years ago today. But it was not my first blog entry. There was a blog of sorts that I started in 1994 using text edited HTML code. It was about making drums and it used a rented domain with the letters MCS. That domain is long gone and so I made a crummy copy to be posted in the eegraphics domain and you can still find it HERE. It’s a fairly simple web page, but at the time it won a Magellan and Golden Crane award probably because at that time there were not very many web sites out there.
Still Around
Bloco is almost 10 years old and Cam the Ram is quite a bit older. The picture above has nothing to do with the 11th anniversary of this blog but it reminds me to tell you that FESTA BRASIL is April 20th this year and BLOCO will be there with Marcus Santos!
CSU Entomology Club goes behind the scenes at the Butterfly Pavillion
Super Stag Beetle
OK, behind the scenes means you don’t see any adult butterflies. The pavilion has secret laboratories that have all kinds of arthropoidal types.
Centipede from Vietnam
This nasty little devil was confiscated at airport customs. They are quite venomous; I wonder if they could make a ‘Cenipedes on a Plane’ movie?
Not ready to come out butterflies
Butterfly Release Party!
This guy with the gloves gets to grab the B’flies in the little cage behind him and let them fly for the first time. I was there early to be up front; When one of the butterflies didn’t fly off right away and landed next to the feet of an 8 year old boy, the kid’s natural response was to raise his foot and attempt to stomp on the new animal! OK, the guy stopped him in time but WTF?
The new bike trail is finally completed!
The tunnel under the train tracks
This is a nice curvy path that now links the Fossil Creek / Mason bike trails to the new Long View trail. It’s just another way to get from FoCo to Loveland, although I prefer the Power Trail to the Front Range trail because it rides along parts of Boyd Lake.
Solar panel for something?
Duncan it someplace on this ride. Waiting for warmer weather to get out and prepare for the great feast of the Ragbrai coming the last week of July, 2019.
