Wyoming is the worst

Wyoming: Home to sagebrush (the symbol of lifelessness).

Wyoming sucks.  We hate Wyoming with a passion.  If it weren’t for Yellowstone National Park, which is only open during the summer, I’d say that place should be blown to smithereens.  It is the worst state in the country.  Yes, even worse than New Jersey.

Why do we hate it so much?  Let us count the ways …

1. Seeing sagebrush tumble across the highway was the most entertaining thing we witnessed.  That is until we saw sagebrush blowing in the blustery wind, then we almost had a seizure from excitement.
That fence is holding back the threat of a sagebrush attack.

2. Verizon must have no customers there, because we had absolutely no service.  Why bother when nobody lives there?

3. We didn't see any Wyoming license plates until 3 hours into the drive.  That's because the few people who live in Wyoming know how horrible it is.

4. The drive was so boring and repetitive that it looked like a video on loop.
Or just stare at this picture for 4 hours for the same effect.


5. Their idea of a rest stop is a roadside table, which is exactly what it sounds like: a picnic table on the side of the road.  Just a table out in the open on the side of the road with no protection from the elements.  There isn’t even a parking lot for people to stop.  This shows you how much they care about the tourism.  I wish we had a picture of it, but we didn’t realize that it would top the two sagebrush sightings as the most interesting thing in Wyoming.

6. There was so much snow blowing everywhere that we could barely see in front of our car.  Maybe we’d be a little bit more forgiving to Wyoming if we could actually see it.
At least it's a change of scenery.
I wish Wyoming would secede from the union because I’m embarrassed to say that it’s a part of our wonderful country.  Ayk points out if that were true, then Dick Cheney would never have been eligible to be Vice President.  And the world would be a much better place.
