Although Monday’s city council meeting was much shorter than usual they did have a few things to talk about. Resolution 20/20-11 was brought to the table, this is for the process of combining lots. Any lot less than 35 acres do not qualify for agricultural property therefore combining lot one and two qualifies for agriculture. By combining both lots this would save about $4500 a month. Lot one was only 20 acres while lot two was 40 acres this combination will not affect any future construction. Other than that there was no other business. H...
Thanks to earth's tilt on its axis people recently experienced the Winter Solstice! The solstice happened on Monday, December 21st and this marks the official astrological first day of winter.

Meaning, while it is our winter solstice, the southern hemisphere is in their summer solstice and vice versa. There is some belief...

When I was in Saudi Arabia and other countries on the Arabian Peninsula I saw a lot of sand. Everywhere I looked was sand. Well...sand or concrete. Very little concrete. It was the most desolate region I've ever seen. I couldn't believe anything could grow there. Yet there were plants growing. In fact the Saudis had an ingenious cooling system for the walkways. Vining plants were growing directly in the sand with a slow drip system at each plant. The vines covered a trellis system, hanging down...

During every war since the civil war, our troops have been deployed or served on Christmas Day. In the history of the Civil War, Christmas was not forgotten. Soldiers would sing Christmas songs and decorate their tents with hard-tack and salt pork. Fighting was temporarily ceased during World War I with the Christmas Truce along the Western Front. This "Truce" ended in 1916. During Christmas' of World War II there were no "Christmas Truce" as in World War I. In the history of World War II,...
Tis the season! Tis the season for family food presents and Christmas trees!! Many families today have their own unique tree displays. Some are real some fake some aren't even trees at all. This season the big question is where did the Christmas tree, we all have come to love, really originate? The "Christmas tree" goes far back in history. Every culture has their own to represent either their religion or beliefs. For example the ancient Egyptians Hebrews and Chinese believed evergreen wreaths and garlands symbolized eternal life. They would de...

We came out and got down early and we tried to fight back the entire game. You just can't do that against good teams. We were down 15 in the first quarter and I think the game...
Fellow PATRIOTS, I can’t put into words here the distress, anger and heartache I feel for what is happening in our country. We are in very troubling times for our Nation. I voted, but next time will my vote count? Everyone I know have little to no faith in the integrity of our vote actually counting. If we do not condemn this widespread voter/election fraud, then we accept it. To accept such fraud as a Nation, condemns our future as a free constitutional nation. We wonder and worry, is there any agency in our government who is going fighting o...

I want to thank Jennifer Burns for all the hard work she put into copying the platforms of the two major political parties and the two wannabes so we could read them all together. However, all she really succeeded in doing was to show herself for what she really is. To begin with, she has given herself the title of “Candidate for Wyoming House District 10”. She is not a candidate for anything now. She is a defeated candidate for House District 10 and she cannot become a candidate again until the filing period opens in May of 2022. She is jus...
