WY registered agent
Wyoming, $6 a year, winds sustained
Morning report for Wyoming. Barometer: the fee to come back, posted first because it is the reading everybody skips. Then the statute, the remedies, the yearly charge, the desk and the courthouse rule, verbatim from the code. Our commentary is limited to wind speed.

Conditions across the state
The wind comes off the range and reads the same at every one of these places: strong, steady, and unbothered by who is watching. Photographs from days when someone was.
the Green River Lakes
Squaretop over still water, on a morning with no wind to report. Rare enough that we mention it.

the National Elk Refuge
Several thousand elk wintering on the flats, all facing the same way. The wind decides which way. It decides for us too.

the Norris Geyser Basin
Steam off pale ground at the hottest basin in the park. Visibility poor, conditions changing, nobody at the desk. Familiar.

Mount Moran
Photographed in black and white from Signal Hill by someone who waited for the light. We do not wait for the light. It comes and goes on its own.

Yellowstone Lake
The lake from the road, with the Tetons on the far skyline. High pressure, long view, no service. The forecast for most of the state.
