Day 47-Rest in Casper

The day started off with a walk to Wal-Mart to resupply and invest in a new Chromebook. I was looking to buy a netbook, but apparently they don't really exist anymore. I'm a little behind the times. I took my new purchase to the classiest McDonalds I've been to and caught up on the ol' blog for an hour or so before heading back to the Raicevich home.

At noon I had an interview for the sports-writer with the Casper Star Tribune. My mom had tipped them off of me coming to Casper and I agreed with the hope that it may score me a place to stay down the road.

Soon after the interview my friend from Oregon State, Russell Benson, joined up with me after driving up from Denver. He had just finished an internship out in Virginia and wanted to join me for a day before he started grad school for the year at the School of Mines in Golden. During dinner yet another small world connection occurred as we learned that Troy had worked with Russell's brother on an oil drilling rig in Colorado awhile ago.

Soon after dinner and conversation it was time for bed. I moved in from the guest room in the garage to the couch in the living room to stay cool.

Unfortunately the only picture I took on my day off. Removing one letter really made the device pretty morbid.
