You know you're in Wyoming when the neighbors call an older lady, living alone, and ask if she needs the driveway plowed, or something from the grocery store. Thank God for my Wyoming neighbors. :)

You know you're in Wyoming when the dog can walk over the fence due to the snow drifts being 4 foot high...  :)

LOL!! A few days ago I had a good 2+ft drift in my front yard on the downhill side. My old dog walked out there and promptly sank into it! He's so short that he almost vanished. I was worried for a moment, but he plowed his way out quickly. He's built like a tank. Thank goodness for powder snow.

A few years back I took my great dane and my pit bull to visit friends in the sierras. Growing up in the mojave desert, they had never seen snow. One night a storm dropped 3 feet. The great dane was crow-hopping above and the pit bull was porposing below the snow. Her head would pop up ever 3 - 4 feet to get her bearings and off she went. Wish I had a video!  ;D

...the FedEx guy (who does not know you) leaves your package and your cell number with a complete stranger a mile away from your house.  That complete stranger, who has taken your 150 lb box into his heated garage to keep it safe, then calls you and tells you he has your package.

I LOVE this place!   :)

A complete stranger drove through heavy snow to bring me a letter that was put into his mailbox by mistake. As a plus, I now know another one of my neighbors. :)

This happened to us just last week as we were finalizing the purchase of our place in Wyoming:

You know you are in Wyoming when . . . you are scheduling a propery inspection and giving an address and directions to the inspector provide him no help, but the way to relay the location is to tell him whose place you are buying.

...every truck comes standard with a resident ranch dog (or two in the upgraded model) riding in the back.
MANUMIT

Same goes for West Texas.

What's really funny is when the catahoula KNOWS he's not allowed to leave the truck, and does so.  I came back out and he was sitting in a different blue truck.

Smart dog...almost had me fooled.

You know you're in Wyoming when . . . .
. . the county assessor calls you to remind you that your veteran exemption for property tax must be renewed with your signature before the end of May!

Can you imagine any place else where the assessor would CALL you as a courtesy to insure you don't miss the deadline to get LOWER property taxes for the year? This just happened today.

. . . . you realize after balancing your checkbook that the check you sent to the Crook County Treasurer last week for property tax was $0.50 less than required due to your sloppy handwriting making a 7 into a 2!!

Upon calling the Treasurer to see what the ramifications are, since the deadline for paying has now passed, you are pleasantly surprised that they will not ding you with interest or a penalty, but rather the several employees who worked late trying to balance the accounts simply chipped in the fifty cents from their own pockets and went home!

Since I'm going to town tomorrow anyway, I told her I'd throw some change into the kitty for next time. Wow.

(I recall when I did something similar with my cell phone provider, they added a $20 late fee to my account until I screamed and yelled and stomped my feet.)

You are on a roll, Mac. Might want to take them a bag of cookies or something nice just to say thanks.

...don't throw things, the rest of you... I'll go back into my little corner now.  >:D

One of the the things I have learned to love about Wyoming is the access to our government. One time I had a dispute over how a law was being interpreted by the Attorney General, I went to my lawyer's office with my research. He looked it over and said I was right. He asked me what I wanted, to make a big stink or get the AG to change how it was being interpreted. The latter I said. Ok says he, and he picks up the phone and calls the AG's office, gets him on speaker phone with the Asst. AG too, and we argued our case. The Asst. AG tried to play tough but the AG saw the big stink on the horizon and it's implications and overruled.

We had a copy of a letter from the AG by the end of the day to all state officials who administered the particular law with the new interpretation and instructions on how to now administer the area effected. My Lawyer charged me a buck, and drinks on me the next time I saw him out.
