Diversity in Evanston, Wyoming

I had half a pound of bacon in the cooler and no ice. Two cans of smoked clams had been breakfast. It was time to go into town.

Culture is so varied; it's strangeness can be, if not fun, at least interesting.

Exiting the Evanston, Wyoming Walmart, a Tesla fastback glided acrosst the parking lot. At the perimeter, a tall, slender, Black woman with a beautifully round bottom, wearing a yellow headband with long, yellow, "tails" of shredded cloth, raised her arms in triumphant greeting to the 25 (or so) semi trucks parked together. Her enthusiasm brought to mind my sister; she too took pleasure (and pride) in pleasuring her clients.

At the light, a shiney, white Land Rover full of young girls (windows closed) went past and provoked puzzlement at having found (in Walmart) excellent organic blueberries grown in Oregon.

Diversity! If we could only learn to celebrate it.

  1. Be aware (if you go that way) that Cokeville WY is a notorious speed trap, with the limit dropping from 80 to 30 with no warning, and with cops just waiting.

    1. Thanks for the tip, Al. But I slipped the noose.

      After leaving Mendon (see: https://newmexnomad.blogspot.com/2019/07/mendon-utah.html) I went to Hyrum and took 101 to 39. Thence to Woodruff and down to Evanston. Now nearing Kamas.
