Tonight we managed to get wifi set up at my father in laws house. Thanks to Arden! This picture is Kevin taking the computer around to show his Dad our very messy house. You can see Sam's image in the computer, with my reflection.

Here Kevin is skyping and showing Sam the contents of our fridge. (The things one does with technology.)

I took the day off today. Kevin and I ran some errands in Longmont. On our way home I stopped to take this photo of an old shack. In the background you can see some of the more modern subdivisions.

Today was President's Day. City, State and County offices including libraries were closed today. Except for CSU. Bummer. I came home from work, missed the after glow in the mountains at sunset - would have been gorgeous with the snow we've had over the weekend. So I turned down a dirt road that leads passed Erie Cemetery. I thought it would be too dark to get anything - sun had already set, just the after glow lighting up the sky. Instead I found these wonderful patterns in the farmer's fields. Had to stop and take a photo.

We had a fresh round of snow this morning. But the sun came out with great blue skies. We went to St Vrain State Park after lunch and saw the ice fisherman out and about. The ice was covered with fresh snow. The trucks in the back ground are on the I -25 heading south. For safe ice fishing, the ice has to be about 6 inches thick.

Today Mom and Dad drove up from Littleton and we had lunch at the Cheese Importers in Longmont. The Cheese Importers is a bit of a surprise - a little bit of French bistro in the middle of the West. Longmont Cheese Importers keeps every kind of cheese from around the world. It also has a gourmet food shop (I've never seen so many different kinds of balsamic vinegar!) We had lunch at the little bistro on the premises. On the way back we took one of the many back country roads to get to Erie. We stopped for a quick photo of this corn field and some interesting weather happening out on the eastern plains. (To see the Rockies, you would have to turn around - but today the Rockies were cloaked in clouds.)

Friday was not a good day for photos. I felt sick in the afternoon so I headed home early. Too many pistachios? On my way into bed (and feeling sorry for myself) I took this quick snap of the Catfinder sticker.

Today was CSU's 140th Birthday. Happy Birthday CSU. So today I grabbed the camera and headed out to photograph the festivities. Here is Cam the Ram greeting his fans. What a handsome boy!

I was heading East on Prospect in Fort Collins this afternoon on my way to North Denver for a meeting. There are a number of rail tracks bisecting the City, (including the track that goes through campus.) At any time of day, traffic comes to a stop while we wait for the trains to pass. Some of these trains are very long, and it can take quite a wait. In those situations - switch off, and get out the Sudoku book. Today, the train was quite small, and it didn't take us long to get going.

I popped out at lunch to take this photo of the Lory Student Center (facing East) and a Dismount Zone in the foreground. While it was blue sky and sunny it was a balmy -3C. The dismount zone is for bicycles, roller blades, skate boards, in other words anything with wheels.

Today the NWS forecast snow until 11am. Well, someone didn't tell the weather system. It snowed all day. This photo was taken of my car at the parking lot at CSU after a day of cold and snow. Check out those icicles.
