Nice Day Has Wyoming Wondering If Winter is Finally Over

There was still snow in the forecast for last weekend. But it was only in the higher elevations. That's fine. Everyone likes snow-capped mountains.

QUICKLY, get as much money from the tourist as a person can. Then send them home before they get stuck here with us. We don't need them hanging out for a full year.

This time of year most of the rest of the country thinks of working on their tan. But Wyomingites don't have that much time, so they just go for a quick farmer's tan and leave it at that.
