Wyoming, my love

I just achieved the highest pinnacle of ecstasy any human being could ever hope to achieve

You may have sold me on Wyoming as a place to eventually settle up and raise me some young'uns.

[venaja]

If I remember correctly, it was top five for education, if not number one. Not a bad place at all to raise children. Plus, they'd get ride horsies and feed llamas.

From all you have told me about Wyoming, I think I would love it. And due to the fact that it is close to Canada it shouldn't be too hot there ;-)

[venaja]

It has very cool weather, though the brochure said Cheyenne doesn't become terribly cold in the winter. It's not that close to Canada, but it is definitely in the north.

Wyoming was also the first state to give women the vote, long before the rest of the country. As I understand, they did this primarily due to a severe woman-shortage in their state.

[venaja]

Well, they also had the first woman governor (or the second - Wyoming and Texas both had woman governors at the same time), so it didn't just stop there.

Thank God there is a state not on the coasts where people don't stare.
In Indiana's airport, I actually heard someone who had been staring at me tell her daughter,
"Look dere -- must be city folk." Blech.

Your entry made me hungry.

There are plenty of states where people don't stare. All in the glorious middle. ;)

You could settle in Cheyenne and work in Fort Collins--plenty of people do!

[venaja]

What's in Fort Collins?

[scribblescrawl]

I am, for the next three weeks :) Overall, it seems like a pretty nice city, though I haven't done a whole lot of exploring. Old Town is fun, and has some interesting stores and restaurants--not sure if the food compares to Cheyenne, though! There's some industry here and in Loveland (just south) if you're looking for places to work. HP, Intel, Agilent, LSI Logic, plus Colorado State University. Plus it's right in the foothills and is a short drive to some good hiking.

Doesn't sound too bad. I always thought of Colorado as a boring state, but I don't know why. It's much more populated, though, which is one of the problems. I'd like to live somewhere with few people and lots of nature, but that means no jobs!
