Bill Croke celebrates his brand-new old-fashioned lifestyle: living upstairs in an old brick building in downtown Salmon Idaho.
As the cost of housing and fuel skyrockets, Bill Croke
wonders who – besides immigrants – will be willing to
fry the hamburgers and clean the toilets of towns like Cody,
Wyo.
New Yorkers may pride themselves on rudeness, but they
don’t hold a candle to ill-mannered Wyomingites.
Bill Croke enjoys a rite of spring peculiar to small
towns: Strolling the neighborhood alleys and snooping to see what
everyone’s up to.
The writer is so frugal he culls the Dumpster deposits of
the rich
The writer sees newcomers to his small town setting a new
style
Wyoming’s billboards are ugly, and probably
outdated, too
The writer wants to clearcut the thicket of billboards
lining gateway towns to Yellowstone National Park
The writer explains what makes Wyoming winters
different
The warm chinook winds of Cody, Wyo. keep temperatures
mild as they sand away at the town with a steady gale.
The sight of a beaver swimming past a barbecue leads to
speculation on the role the animal played in the settling of the
West, and the current conflicted views New Westerners have about
living with wildlife
The writer muses about the comeback of the beaver, the
region’s totemic animal
