Cather on the wind

Since we are in Cather country and the wind is strong and warm:

... the wind sprang up afresh, with a kind of bitter song, as if it said: "This is reality, whether you like it or not. All those frivolities of summer, the light and shadow, the living mask of green that trembled over everything, they were lies, and this is what was underneath. This is the truth." It was as if we were being punished for loving the loveliness of summer.

We are scheduled to leave Sunday if the predicted blizzard doesn't come in.

Fun times at our house.

In case you haven't heard, we had a visitor last night. You can read about it from a local point of view here.

Regarding why Wyomingites are "obsessed with federal government", the federal government owns 46.7% of the land in the state and is the second largest employer. 

Regarding her comment "I don't know what it is", concerning protections for transgender people, she apparently has forgotten as she voted against them a number of times. 

From my own perspective, we went to the demonstration at the court house and marched to the building where the town hall was held. Since my studio is in that same building, I helped out by directing traffic. 

It should be noted that the original room has a capacity of 160. Over 500 people attended. It should also be noted that the date was chosen to coincide with the university spring break.

The county Democratic party chair is the guy who maintains and repairs our car. He was hoping for a civil discourse. He is very disappointed.

In these dark times, I would like to share this.
