Tourism Is Up In Cody, Wyoming And I Somehow Make Sense Of It (In My Own Mind)


        From what I have gathered, despite the economy and terrible weather in Cody, the amount of visitors is up. Yellowstone Park is up 11 percent! Which got me to wondering...

        How is tourism up in Cody? Nobody has jobs and it rains everyday. Why are so many people on vacation? 

        It doesn’t make sense to me. If you’re broke and the weather is lousy, why come to Cody?

        It is funny though. Even my family is going on vacation this summer. We almost never go on vacation. I mean, yeah, we go on smaller ones close to home, but this one is to Missouri, which is pretty far away. We’re flying. And this is like the third legit vacation we’ve been on. Why? Because life has been rough and we need to get away. We don’t really have much money, or even a real source of income (I call it cash flow.)

        Maybe that’s it. Everyone is stressed out about life and money and the economy and their jobs and they need a break (of that Kit-Kat bar. Wait. Is it off that Kit-Kat bar? What happened to those commercials?)

        No but that has to be it. People need a vacation now more than ever. That’s unfortunate because they have no money to pay for this relaxing vacation, which means the vacation will probably turn into more stress. It’s simply a temporary cure. Once the family gets back it will just put more stress on them to pay off the vacation.

        I’m a genius. 

        I should write more. I seem to figure things out better when I write about them. Which is weird. I guess the writing categorizes my thoughts. Once they’re written down I can be done with them and move on to newer, occasionally better thoughts. I think that’s why I get so much thinking done. Without writing, my mind gets clouded trying to remember points I already made and it gives me less room to create new thoughts.

        By the way, I think everyone would be surprised by the lack of thoughts flowing through my brain. I spend so little time thinking. Almost everything I do is by instinct.

        My brain gets clouded so easily by like on song lyric. I repeat like three words from a song over and over again in my head, sometimes for almost 20 minutes. Actually maybe longer. I just repeat it in my brain for so long. And that’s all that will be in their. Often I just empty my brain of thoughts altogether. I’m good at it. I can empty my head is a few seconds. And keep it blank. It’s weird. I’m smart, but I don’t let my brain take over. I do get super self-conscience but I can let go and be a normal person. Many intelligent people can’t. My brain works surprisingly well considering I almost never exercise it.
