Still in Cheyenne

With a winter storm coming thru we are staying put. Todd uses www.weather.gov - more accurate than .com and 511WY. WE'VE LOOKED A A LOT OF WEBCAMS.

Since Mike's not moving we went to the capitol, an awesome duplicate of our nation's with a gold dome and stained glass ceilings in both the house and senate chambers. It reminded me a lot of MT's capitol - same layout. In the staircase,one spindle is put in upside down so the building isn't trying to be perfect, like god. The Black and white tile floor is filled with fossils. Everyone very friendly and helpful. We went to the state museum, ate lunch at Sanford's Grub an Such ( a chain) filled with memorabilia and then met Colette and kids at botanical gardens. The greenhouse is completely heated by the sun - they have black barrels to absorb the heat and give it off at night. Pretty cool place run 90% by volunteers. We then went to early dinner at Pizza Hut.

Later Todd, a physicist at the Regional Cancer Center, gave us a tour of their radiation machines. They had a tomo machine before Denver - 158th of 200 made. Sidney just got one-the only one in MT.

Laying low here again today, Tuesday, as I have to delegate to others back home some of my commitments. We're going to lunch with the pastor, Mark Rossi, this afternoon
