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.
Hey!–This blog is 5 years old today! How is that possible?
Our first post was February 12, 2008; It was VERY basic, see the link HERE to see what it looked like. At that time we didn’t know where we would end up but we knew we were going on a road trip to search for a place to live so that’s how ROADSIDE MYSTERIES was born.
In that first year we searched for the best place to live; We sold our house in Arlington heights and bought a house in Fort Collins; The Red Herring had a reunion; We attended many events like Tour de Fat and the Symphony for 1000 drums. It was all good!
By February 12, 2009 we were really getting to know the area and meet all sorts of great friends. There were science fairs and hospitals to visit, washing machine museums, trolley rides, and lots of music everywhere. Became part of a Samba band. Oh, we went to Denver for the first time too.
On our second birthday we changed our blog format and switched to something called WordPress. More stuff, like a cruise vacation and more in-depth music locations. More coverage of RAGBRAI, or not and ventures outside of Larimer County by bike and/or bus happened.
Our Third Year we checked out southern parts of Colorado, and our first Frozen Dead Guy Day. I drummed for 3 days with Arthur Hull; Traded my car for a bicycle at the Tour de Fat;
… And by Year Number Four we slimmed down a bunch. This was the year of the iPad and because of this device, some methods for getting pictures to the blog have influenced how this blog looks… and typing on the iPad is not that easy– but I practice often. By year four I became more involved with the start-up of the new museum, more involved with the entomology department at CSU, and it seems that I have attend a lot of parties featuring belly dancers??
And of course there was a
Fat Tuesday Party:
