This blog started as a trial to use some common blog developers, starting with ‘Blogger’ and then a few years later “WordPress”. While some of the archive links have died (I killed them accidentally while screwing around on the Linux console) the actual flat files are still around if you can find them; Here’s some of note:
1) The very first post on Blogger entitled “In The Beginning“. It was just a few days before we took our little ‘road trip’ out West to find a piece of land to call our own. We thought at the time we would end up in Oregon, but FoCo found US, and here we are today.
2) Bellingham, Washington; where we blew a tire on the Prius but found some nice people who helped us out. Nice place Bellingham, but wet.
3) Eugene, Oregon with friends. We really thought that this was the place but we still needed to go further and see more!
4) Had to see more friends, this time in California. We know we wouldn’t live in California because t was too expensive.
5) Last stop: Fort Collins! We knew this was the place to be. What a nice place to retire; OK, now the rest of you, just keep moving on! Nothing to see here.
I’ll get back to the old blog at a later date. Here’s what we have that’s new:
SNOW!
We had a good month an a half of Chicago style snow that never melted and then an additional 17 inches fell. We we not all that concerned; must be used to it by now.
The snow in the street melts by noon they say
Well, not this time; and all the people were bitching about side streets not getting cleared so the city got out some extra money and a few back-hoe loaders to get the job done; Here they are on our small insignificant street! Wow!
