Just curious though what got you to move there? Most people would consider going to a warmer climate.
Also when you get a chance please visit Jackson Hole which is a quaint little town right near Yellowstone National Park. You'll love it in Wyoming!!

Definitely still has alot of western elements going strong here, and not in a tourist-y way, people really seem to respect the heritage. Checked out an old Pony Express stop today, neat stuff. And, yeah, I already had plans to head to Yellowstone too, so I'll look into Jackson Hole, thanks for the heads up!
Anyway, I really didn't have a great reason for moving up here, my parents relocated for my Dad's job -he's in the oilfield industry, and he'd asked me if I'd wanna come along (they hate having an empty nest, tried it for a year and then moved back to the same town as me
) and I wasn't gonna go at first. Then I got to thinking about my 60+ parents being up here all alone, without family anywhere nearby, and I said what the hey, why don't I come along and keep the old folks company. I'd had the same job since I was 17 and didn't have any real plans so it just seemed like a good opportunity for a change. I'm really glad I did it, though I miss my buddies back in Texas. So, yeah, that's the story, nothin' too spectacular.

It's like, my favorite word. Wish it was universal!
Well, I think the practice itself is pretty widespread, so that's good.
