I'm still around

I've been working a lot lately & haven't been keeping up too well with this thing. Sorry!

I've now officially been in Wyoming for ONE YEAR. It doesn't seem like it's been that long. I've really enjoyed this state. It's beautiful & has many great wonders to explore.

The people here are friendly, open, and helpful for the most part. There's a good mix of different personality types. There's also a good mix of people who are from here and people who have moved here from other states. I've noticed that a lot of Wyoming towns have some pretty big "small town syndromes" going on, but it's not really that bad where I'm at.

One thing that does bug me is our County Commissioners. They really don't do a good job of listening to & doing what the people want. They also don't make good decisions sometimes, at least not decisions that are good for the county as a whole. Not all their decisions are bad, but they do seem to be more concerned with making sure they aren't perceived as a governmental body that tells people what they can & can't do, then they are with making decisions that actually help the county and the people in it. presence, introduction, or reintroduction of grizzly
