Disney Market Land

I hear they have a new ride at Disney Land that is based on the stock market. It's called "Crash Mountain" It's a roller coaster ride that plummets 300 to 600 poin...errrr feet a second until it evens out and flat lines for the next 3 years. It is a very long ride but people keep saying once you are at the bottom you might as well just stay on because you feel too sick to get off anyway.
Oh well enough about that. How about drinking and riding a bike in a costume.

Fort Collins is a Mecca of beer and breweries. New Belgium Brewing Company,Odell Brewing Company,Fort Collins Brewery, and of course Anheuser-Busch are just a few of the breweries around here. But it was not until a friend told us there was an opportunity to dress up in costumes...Drink...And ride our bikes around in a city wide parade that I realized what a great city we live in. New Belgium Brewing Company sponsors an event called "Tour de Fat" every year.

This is everyone dressed up and ready to go. I was told this year there were over six thousand people in the parade. It was very entertaining. Next are a few photos of the events...










so that's it, a little photo extravaganza, I think the photos tell the whole story. Lotta found JC at the end of the event and I think that is all a person can ask for.
Lots of luck for the start of this next week.

Back In Black

Or back in Red as the stock market would be telling us. After a brief year break the blog is back. Lotta and I have moved to Colorado to enjoy the great out doors and here are a few images of that happening.
This is at the top of horse tooth, a bit of mountain that from afar looks like a horse tooth.
A friend that Lotta made at the top of the mountain. He is eating some crackers that Lotta gave him but soon after this she felt he needed some greens in his diet and gave him small bits of green pepper which he pushed out of the way so he could lick the rocks, so as to get any loose bits of cracker he might have missed. Our mission is to leave as small a footprint as possible while getting small mammals hooked on junk food.

Last weekend was up to the mountains to see the changing leaves. They did not disappoint, they are changed.


That is it for now, just a quick update but more outdoors to come
