Bicycling Cheyenne

Cheyenne, Wyoming

15 August 2009

The downtown was quiet and a cool & clear 61 degrees at 6.45 this morning. It is 4 miles from this motel to the airport, where Barry will be arriving at 1.06 this afternoon. Near the old train station a large farmers' market was getting started. One seller was roasting huge red peppers - each about foot long - in a long perforated drum fired by a dozen gas burners.

It always seems goofy for a city to make a sign like this - that expresses its population to the exact individual. At least they could have an electronic thing in the sign so that the city employee in charge of keeping city signs accurate could change the population with each birth, death, arriving new resident, departing former resident, changes in the city limit boundaries, etc. I doubt that the elevation changes that much from day to day, but the population might.
