The Hogsty

Morning everyone . . .


21° and still air.

I think it was the year before, in Shoshoni, when they tore down an old motor court, they found what may have been an old speak easy underground.
I've never understood the "blue" (?) laws. When I was stationed in Charleston SC, you could join the club of a bar and keep drinking past 2 AM and on Sunday they couldn't sell beer but you could buy hard alcohol drinks. Then to my surprise on one of my pilgrimages to the Costco in Billings I found out they are a state where you have to go to a licensed liquor store to buy hard liquor. But then here in Wyoming we have the liquor "department" in our grocery stores where we have to purchase beer, wine and liquor in that "separate" department and then there is our drive through liquor places also. Then there are Utah alcohol laws, on my many rides through Utah with friends I found there was a phone app to locate state alcohol stores and I had that on my phone.

I'll drink to that ! 75 for a high today and for the rest of the week. I hope this early warm weather isn't a hint of an oven hot spring and summer. Looks like 6 more weeks of winter elsewhere.

Morning, though just barely. 47 freaking degrees on Groundhog Day and no moisture in sight. My son was here earlier; he says he's going to be screwed out on the ranch if this keeps up because there won't be anything for his eqines to eat this summer. Most of the state is in great shape for moisture, but Natrona and Hot Springs counties got bupkes.
