I bet it is a LONG time before Wyoming tries such a licensing system. I doubt that it will ever be economical to erect enough cell towers to provide statewide coverage. Maybe there is some new...
Antonyraison, when I was a kid it was a very different time in America. You could still often purchase dynamite in the local hardware store or lumber yard. Fireworks were, for the most part,...
Never tried dynamite, though I had uncles that had. Where I grew up the ditches were deep, and when they flooded in the spring the spawning fish went up them, later to all be trapped and everything...
Yes, nice pics. Good country, reminds me of here. We see sheep like that several times a year traveling through the Black Hills on our way to appointments or shopping in Rapid City SD. See scads...
If you drive from Rapid city SD to Gillette WY on US highway 16 the cell towers are few and FAR between. Beyond 5 to 7 miles outside of a towns the coverage is spotty to nonexistent. The AT&T local...
When you line where the population of the whole county is 7234 and the state is less than 600000, they just do not find that much profit in building cell towers
Where I live NOAA does not even have mediocre weather radar coverage, and unless you live in a town, cell phones are just expensive junk. Every town around us has fiber optic cable phone systems. ...
I told my boys straight out when they asked if there really was a Santa, "When you stop believing in Santa all you get for Christmas from then on is clothes," so they still believe in Santa! My...
I was able to trade all my old out of date propane tanks in at a local grocery store for full tanks with the new safety valves for one and a half times the cost of filling a tank at a bulk propane...
As a young teen round 1960 I had a fiberglass recurve bow, and a half dozen target tipped wood arrows. A couple of the arrows had the tips broken off. Living on a farm under a major migration...
Welcome from Wyoming.
I make my own from recycled heavier colored plastic jugs. Cut them the size and shape I want, our of the color I want, mark them with a Sharpie or paint stick (I also have engraved them with an...
Beach combing in Wyoming is seeing what else got caught up in the barbed wire fences besides tumbleweeds and plastic bags.
Welcome from Wyoming.
Petester, if you follow roads, county, state and federal, you will very likely be hiking numerous 40 to 80 plus mile stretches with absolutely no flowing water. If it has rained recently there may...
What Hunter63 said about game laws. Rabbits, Prairie Dogs, and things you can't legally shoot or wouldn't want to, like skunks. Lot of skunks out now.
hunter63 "70 years old, on retirement, can't run all the fancy electronics, argue with Siri, GPS and On Star and don't like Rap.....
Besides the fact don't know if you can still drive in 7...
I hear a shot in the night every couple months or so, figure it is usually someone shooting at a skunk anyway, unless i was really close, so just roll over to look at the clock and listen for...
I grew up with cows. Herfords. Never imagined or heard of cow tipping. When around them they mostly ignored me though they knew I was there.
Welcome from Wyoming!
Fascinating subject. You may be correct in mostly the old appreciating the old.
In my opinion “Rock Art” is misleading. Artistic ability was involved undoubtedly, but are for art’s sake unlikely. ...
Would not a HEMP attack be the ULTIMATE hack of the electrical grid?
Rick, I was in high school during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The County Civil defense Coordinator handed out various plans for fallout shelters at school. We had a basement in our farm house, and...
One of my Aunt's cousins was a neighbor of Ed G. Was all everybody talked about for a month.
