    FYI Cheyenne WY

    Local news boasting that Cheyenne PD will be sweeping the city for the homeless.The excuse being that transients "are a major source of crime" in the downtown and Depot area.Now I live here and tbh I hardly ever see any "homeless" downtown.So if ya all are passing through just be careful.

    Amusing reviews on Yelp

    So out of boredom I was reading reviews on jails and such.Yes these are actually on Yelp and actually really funny.So my idea is to review things like Union Pacific railroad,shelters,missions and things like that.Really its just a stupid silly way to kill some times.

    Tourist Union #16

    So this is very much in the beginning stages of this journey.The idea came from the original formed in the 1800's as safety net so to speak.My idea is to bring it to this day and age.I envision it as a way to help members who have been stranded somewhere or lost their gear through getting kicked...
