It’s a bird, it’s a plane...

Another wild and wooly trip for your crazed, yet intrepid reporter Gib.

Intrepid?

Anyway, today (Friday), the Wyoming Game and Fish guys captured 12 bighorn sheep in the Devil’s Canyon area in the Big Horns for transfer to the Seminoe Mountains down around Sinclair.It might have made this ewe downright jumpy flying through the air like a horned Underdog, but all the sheep seemed to fare pretty well with only one minor human injury. But more on that next week when I type an actual story of my awesome day while donning my journalistic thinking cap.

Unfortunately, you, my fav reader, will have to wait, as my brain has left the building and is concentrating instead on the weekend.

Call me a slacker. Call me what you will, but I promise I’ll make every effort to write an enlightening piece. Honest.

Bye for now.

“Let’s face it ... you’re not going to get high on Penicillin,” Tim Feathers, Powell Police Chief, noting that the risk of having your antibiotics stolen is far less than the risk of having your prescription pain pills taken. Powell police are beginning a new program that will allow local residents to get rid of their unused prescription drugs in a safe way, removing the risk of having them stolen. Details can be found in a front-page story.

“Luckily it wasn’t too cold out. If it had been any colder, I probably would have froze,” Cheyenne Coggins of Meeteetse, recalling the rollover she survived earlier this month.
