Driving Across Wyoming....Blows

Is it ever not windy in Wyoming? Is it ever not snowing in some part of that state throughout the year?

As Danica and I get ready for our Thanksgiving extravaganza to Idaho, I have thought of my top five reasons as to why I dislike driving across the state of Wyoming.

#1 - Semi Truck Drivers. Is there some sort of law that says the worse the weather, the crappier they drive?

#2 - Rawlins, the left arm pit of the state, always has wind, non-stop, for eternity.

#3 - Rock Springs, the right arm pit of the state, makes me want to take a shower just driving through it.

#4 - If you are driving through Wyoming on I-80, you are either headed to Utah/Idaho (otherwise known as northern Utah) or you are heading home to go back to work. Neither option is worth the risk.

#5 - Aside from Pinedale, north and west, there isn't much in the way of scenery...if you don't count road kill or turned over semi truck drivers (see #1).

Can I get an Amen on this?

Perhaps The Smartest Dog In The World

As many of you know, Danica and I recently had a new addition to the family. In early October, we adopted a 3 month old Golden Retriever, who we eventually named Duncan. I voted for Elway or Killer, but Danica vetoed both ideas and we eventually decided on Duncan.

Now, I may be a proud parent, but he has to be the smartest dog in the world. He can already sit, lay down, give high fives, shake hands, retrieve and tell us when he needs to go out for a potty break by ringing a bell. Danica also taught him the word football and he now will "get his football". (Still liking the name Elway)He is such a lover, when we take him to the dog park is happier having everyone pet him than playing with the other dogs.

Hopefully, we can impress our Idaho relatives with our super smart dog when we go out for Thanksgiving. If not, we could be disowned, but we think Duncan is going to knock their socks off.

Until the next post....
