USPS considering closure of Meriden, Wyoming post office

Last week I worked on a story with writer Josh Rhoten about the Meriden, Wyo. post office. The branch there is expected to be one of several on the USPS chopping block. If the small post office closes, it could force some residents to drive up to 50 miles for basic postage services. Read more of the story here.

Gunslinger detail

I guess I’m a details sort of mood lately. I was looking for a quick feature picture for the paper on Friday afternoon when I walked past a mock gunslinger gun fight a couple blocks short of downtown. Cha ching. Although the gun fight itself didn’t pan out as expected, I was pleased with this frame from the event.
