The ALSACE Experience: "With the flame in the pipe !!"

US Tour of Duty will soon come to an end :o(

The Wash Experience blog will soon become history ... Our "re-deployment" to Europe is scheduled in Aug 2011. Needless to say that it is with mixed feelings that we're gonna leave this beautiful country in which we lived for 4 amazing/awesome years. Luckily, a new challenge in a new country lies in front of us and we're pretty sure ... there will be a new chapter on our blog ... "l'Expérience Strasbourgeoise". Thank you for checking out our blog regularly ; feel free to throw me a mail if you wanna give us some feedback >> pat@bmso.org

Facebook, the second largest social network on the Web with around 60 million members, is one of the fastest-growing and best-known sites on the Internet today.
The company, founded in 2004 by a Harvard sophomore, Mark Zuckerberg, began life catering first to Harvard students and then to all high school and college students. It has since evolved into a broadly popular online destination used by both teenagers and adults of all ages.
Like other social networks, the site allows its users to create a profile page and forge online links with friends and acquaintances.

INDIAN SUMMER !

The weather in our region is still sunny and warm and we might have the impression that autumn hasn't begun yet although the leaves are turning into their most colourful sight. Indian summer ... this term dates back to the 18th century in the United States. It can be defined as "any spell of warm, quiet, hazy weather that may occur in October or even early November." It is generally associated with a period of considerably above normal temperatures, accompanied by dry and hazy conditions ushered in on a south or southwesterly breeze. Anyway, let's hope that the Brazilian winter (whatever that is ...) will be starting soon.

Guido, my predecessor, and his family returned back home again

On august 24th, Guido and his family took off from Andrews AirForce Base to fly back to Belgium. They staid approx. 4 years in the States and it was with mixed feelings that they returned to their "Limburgial" habitat. Carine and I would like to thank them for their friendly and warm support, for their appreciated advice and for all the sympathetic moments we had together. Remember guys, always welcome at Grand Oak !! From now on, the financial flaming torch of BMSO is taken over by yours truly. So, cross your fingers and pray ...
