MY WYOMING by Bill Sniffin – Two Funerals & A Golf Tourney
MY WYOMING: Two Funerals Same Day + Golf Tourney, Only in Small Town in a Very Small State By Bill Sniffin It might have been former U. S. Sen. Al Simpson who said all politics in Wyoming is personal. I would expand on that by claiming Wyoming is such a small state that “everything is personal.” On a recent Monday we experienced events that might only happen in a small town. Two members of our community had died. Their families used different funeral homes. And, unfortunately, both funerals were scheduled the same time, Monday morning at 10. Luckily, Lander is a city of about 7,500 people with not very…

Bill Sniffin: My Wyoming
MY WYOMING — by Bill Sniffin Smoky times remind of state’s worst fires As I write this, the beautiful view of the Wind River Mountains out of my window is obscured. It is so smoky we are leaving our windows shut because it smells like a brush fire a short distance away. In this case, that brush fire is 1,000 miles away. Northern California and parts of Oregon and Washington are burning up. This smoke is covering up towns all over Wyoming especially in the Big Horn Basin and Wind River Basin. It is hard to find a city or town from Cheyenne to Evanston or Powell to Gillette in…
