Bad Drivers not welcome

Another week discovering the big town.

After an uneventful Friday and Saturday full of weekend class, I was ready to get out and do some exploring. On Sunday I went up into the foothills to do a little hiking/sightseeing. Much more to offer than I had originally thought, and beautiful views of the city. Oh plus I finally found the CSU stadium! Go Rams! Ha the mountains are right by it, making it a beautiful stadium. The students had 'paint the A white day on saturday' which is basically a huge 'A' in the foothills overlooking the stadium and town. There are three shifts and students go up and paint it every year. It stands for aggie because the school is a big agricultural/mining school. Of course I had weekend class so didnt participate, but they did a nice job!

After my mountain excursion it was time to check out the mall for a little bit. That thing may look small, but it actually has alot to offer. Very impressed with the stores and selection. Of course I couldn't leave without a good deal in hand, thank you American Eagle.

And I started at the lovely JCP this week. Yep, 5:30 AM Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I am apparently now a part of the replenishment/stock team. Got a nice raise since it is a higher position along with a nice ugly red JCP polo to wear everyday to work at 5:30 AM. Yes, it has been an interesting week, but have had one job interview with another one to come. Things are looking promising that I wont be stuck there forever.

Well time for an adventurous weekend with my friend Anna!


But only in Fort Collins...

- Can B.O.B jump off the stage, crowd surf, and leave us all with the parting words 'don't drink and drive, smoke and fly' Insightful to a state where marijuana is basically legal.

- Is it okay to bring your dog shopping with you into JcPenney. Yep, I have seen it more than once. Interesting.

- Do they have a whole day set aside to celebrate bicycle riding. Tour de fat, this weekend people! Put on by none other than the New Belgium Brewery, producers of Fat Tire Beer

- Do they have a drive in bicycle theater. Yep, every Thursday at the New Belgium Brewery. Bring $2, your bike, and a blanket at Sundown and they get a movie going while you enjoy a nice beer.

- Oh yeah and is apparently home to the best drivers in America?! Yep, lowest town in the nation for accident rates according to Allstate. Their theory is no one is in a particular hurry because of all the beautiful sights around the area. Mine is: everyone rides their bikes. Wonder what the pedestrian accident rate is.

Happy labor Day weekend!
