 The View From Laramie, Wyoming

Take it easy, take it easy! Relax, the wait is over. You can stop clamoring for it because here it is — the view from my hotel room here in beautiful downtown Laramie, WY.

If you look closely, you’ll see that both vehicles in the background are pickup trucks. That’s because everyone in Wyoming drives a pickup. Or at least knows someone who does. There’s more pickups here than at Red Onion at 1:30 on a Saturday night.

And since I’m in a picture posting mood, here’s the plane I flew here in from Denver. First the exterior, for scale:

And then the interior, for even more scale:

It was a wee bit small in there, so much so that the pilot asked a few of us to move to different seats to “balance the load out.” I went to the rear, because that’s where big loads go. Ha.

    Dude- I wouldn’t even get *in* that tin can. Hope the ride wasn’t too bumpy…

    Not too bumpy? Guess again. It was more like:

    “Turbulence?”

    “Yes, please.”

    I had trouble reading my book because we kept hitting “pockets” and dropping like a rock and my hands, not strapped down like the rest of my body, kept flying up as the rest of me headed for the ground.

    Hopefully you didn’t have to use the barf bag! Damn that’s a small plane. Been on a few like it in my time. So this is your last “job” with your current employer? What is next for you?
