When you sent me to represent you, I don’t believe you expected me to do what was easy. I’m not sure what I need to say about this bill, so I’ll touch on a few concerns that... Full story
Northern Wyoming is covered in several inches of snow this morning. Judging from the fact that the Big Horn mountains a re-hidden, I am guessing there is more snow coming. With there being a large amount of snow on the ground, my task this morning was to shovel the sidewalk and clean off the cars. No easy task, let me assure you. I find as I am working my mind tends to wander. This is especially true when the work is purely physical and requires no real thoughts. This morning my thoughts wandered to my friends at the Denver Children’s H...
