June 05

Wow, no posts in over a month.  That's pretty bad, but more or less normal these days.  As always, there have been a number of things on my mind lately.  My primary concern has been my impending unemployment.  I had an interview last week but I didn't hear back on Friday, the day that I figured they would have called (if they were going to).  I'll keep my fingers crossed but it's not looking good.  I don't see any way that we could get by on one income next year...

Well, in the past month we've had one of the warmest Mays recorded, punctuated by the latest snowfall in 30+ years and four seasonably late frosts.  Twelve of May's 31 days were in the 80s, which is pretty warm for this time of year.  Rainfall, though irregular, has been adequate.

I continue frequenting the Free State Wyoming message boards, a big part of me would love to sell out, use some of the gains to pay off some debt, and go buy a small place in Wyoming somewhere.  However, my wife would never go for that.  I, too, have reservations, but I'm not sure they're enough to hold me back.  Freedom is a very powerful lure...
