I really do try to stay up on politics. I have been spoiled enough in my lifetime to enjoy a very international eduction, to travel and study and learn about the world first hand. I always have an (often controversial) opinion at every dinner party and over every glass of wine. I have tried to keep up with the news, read NPCA press releases, follow seemingly-important Tweets.
But quite honestly, there's something about waking up in the morning and, from the comfort of your warm blankets, looking out your window and up into some of the most rugged mountains the Lower 48, now snow-covered and daunting and dangerously enticing, that makes you completely forget that there is a whole world out there beyond your wilderness. The Lander Valley is more than a geographical bowl in the middle of Wyoming, it's an entire lifestyle bubble. News is easily accessible, and yet you just can't rouse your interest in it when your escape from it is only minutes away. Educated people know nothing, and worldly people become Wyoming yocals; experience means nothing here, only your ability to cut down trees for winter warmth.
