They parked right next to my Jeep downtown. They were getting out of their car as we were walking back to ours.

I smiled a greeting but both of them had their eyes cast down, avoiding us.

I know I look like one of those rednecks who wears a red hat and calls ICE when he sees brown people.

So I try to smile my best very broken smile so they'd know I'm not that guy.

But they wouldn't even look up. They just tried to be invisible.

Breaks my heart is what.

One of those places where, on a few lucky summer, evenings, the sky above you comes to life like nowhere else...

Captured by me one July: "Storm rising at Devil's Tower".

I finished this sketch of the Wyoming sunset. The whole thing only took a little over an hour. I will settle into working on some longer, more complex pieces now.

Rode the Dead Swede 100 mile course Saturday across the foothills of the Big Horn mountains around Sheridan Wyoming. I had the good fortune to start with Mark & Ryan who shared beer and bacon from the cooler on the back of their tandem. HEROS.

I looove #swift Get Swifty! Time to take a break though and see what is happening in the world. Lessee....ouch. Yeah. Everyone in #wyoming remembers the oil boom. My hometown was one of the most dangerous towns in the entire state if not the region during the 80s, because of the man-camps. And a lot of us remember the violence, the rapes, the terrible things that were happening. We couldn't even play outside by ourselves till the early 90s #news #datacenter https://nypost.com/2026/06/09/business/plans-for-huge-man-camp-for-thousands-of-data-center-construction-workers-enrage-wyoming-locals/
Plans for huge 'man camp' for thousands of data center construction workers enrage Wyoming locals

Wyoming residents are in an uproar over plans to build a “man camp” to house thousands of out-of-state workers flocking to the region to build massive, power-hungry data centers.

Interesting. I need to look more into this before I offer a solid analysis. In #wyoming we have the loosest self-defense laws in the country. Most other states are modeled around ours. General rule is...unless they are retreating...it's open season. That's the general rule. They were not retreating. So I don't know. It kinda sounds like this was handled wrong because she is #trans but I don't want to explicitly say that not knowing the rest of the story #news #guns https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/06/trans-people-second-amendment-wyoming-stand-your-ground.html
