So the rumors of a clothing manufacturing facility may be just rumors but a guy who talked to a guy said he heard a truck driver say he unloaded a lot of commercial sewing equipment.

I'm pretty used to being out of touch with pop culture, and specifically averse to people involved in reality shows (unless they run the country or something). But it feels extra weird to have to google "what is Kanye West doing in fromwyoming town?"
You and me both. Definitely not on my radar as far back as, say, Labor Day.

It's actually good news: A local used implement (construction equipment, bulldozers, stuff like that) dealer has wanted to sell his building and land and move away (they got a rotten deal on another business they had here, just want to pull up stakes and choose a better town for them, and that town will be lucky to have them). So the vacant property on the main highway into town from "my" direction has been bought! It's right next to the FedEx facility, and they're going to be manufacturing designer clothing. This will be Kanye West's second venture in this town in the past 3 months...
Y'know, I didn't have really high hopes that his moving up there would turn out to be a good thing, but I was wrong. Dude is helping out, no question.

Yep. He's apparently bought some of the Flitner ranch over by Shell. Which is much more attractive than the land he bought here, IMO. I'm sure he's got someone telling him to sock some cash away in land so that's fine. At some point he's going to be unwelcome with some locals, though, if he keeps buying up land. No idea if he plans to allow access or not. But putting in any sort of manufacturing will win him some fans.

The boss' youngest son (college senior on his way to med school) got a preliminary diagnosis of some sort of blood disease that they call cancer but that's casting a really wide net. The lesser form of this can be attributed to stress, high elevation, poor diet. A college kid 7 credits from graduation, living in Laramie (7000'+) might qualify on all points. So we're hoping.

A guy who Justine and I met 20+ years ago when he and his new (3rd) wife came thru town on an Elderhostel tour and stopped in our coffeehouse. As tourists, they asked a few questions about the town and I BS'd some opinions and 6 months later, they'd moved here! They bought a new house, moved in, and I'd see them in the summer, but turns out they lived in Hawaii in the winter. Because if you live in Wyoming for 6 months and 1 day, you can claim it as your primary residence and Wyoming doesn't have an income tax. If you have enough money to keep two houses, that probably does mean something significant. Anyway, ol' Walt just passed away a month or two ago. He was 93; my boss' back of the envelope guess puts his net worth at over a billion, but says the trust(s) he set up are being challenged by at least one son. We'll see how that goes: Walt was a CPA.
======
But on the good news front, Mrs. Walt had me come over and work on Walt's computer to get rid of/streamline some of the cables and nonsense he had, and help her stop a lot of emails he got. She gave me his computer speakers, which I didn't really need since we have a set at home that sound good, and at work I keep the $5 junky ones turned down too low to matter. But these are Bose and damn. I'll bet I can use them a bit louder without bothering the office since they sound so nice.
Walt!
Until Dengue Fever plays.
I actually was thinking how sweet that song sounded thru these speakers. #neener

Statistics from around the world show huge improvements to our way of life, but many of us think the world is in decline. There are good reasons for this; climate change is often cited as the big one. But many of us aren’t aware of the huge strides we’ve made over the decades in reducing poverty, improving healthcare and tackling hunger. In fact, according to surveys of people in richer countries at least, the majority of people think the world is getting worse; but why? In this edition of the Why Factor, Sandra Kanthal asks if human nature is wired to fixate on the downsides of life.
