In this day and age the question many people will ask themselves when it comes time to vote is whether or not their vote even counts for anything. That question is especially relevant when it comes to Wyoming’s optional one cent tax, or in this area better known as the “six penny money”.

Hopefully, this will clari...

I've gardened in soil since I first started well over 40 years ago. I've had my share of successes and more than my share of failures, just like most everyone. Some of my failures were entirely my fault (i.e. forgetting to water) and some were beyond my control, such as the hailstorm a couple of years ago. I was in the shop when it started and opened up the door to see what all the noise was. I remember just closing the door and telling myself, "well, no more weeding this year." Everything was...
