With the pandemic behind us and Wyoming sites and sights soon opening, it is time for me to start compiling what I call my “Wyoming Bucket List.”
This list is based on an expression from the movie The Bucket List, which featured Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, where two guys with terminal...
Some people wear many hats.
Others wear none.
Around and about the busy community of Newcastle (and occasionally in neighboring communities), Walter Sprague may most often be seen with none.
You see, it can interfere with his taking on and off the camera that so often hangs by a strap...
On Monday, the calendar told me that spring had begun. I looked out my kitchen window and saw my snow and ice covered back patio, and then I put on my winter coat and gloves and walked out the door to start my day.
On Tuesday, I looked out my kitchen window to see snow falling in earnest, and the...
Almost two-thirds of Wyoming residents fit into a stereotype that I call “common sense Republicans.” These are folks who seem to be getting hammered for just wanting things to be more normal.
