Jim has been forecasting the weather here for more than 20 years. You can find moreJackson Hole Weather information at www.mountainweather.com.

On “Lower Budge Drive lost to slide overnight”■ Keep on fracking!■ Ummm, no. This is not due to fracking. There is none taking

place anywhere in or near town. Check your facts before commentingplease.

■ …There is no fracking within at least 150 miles of this location.This has to do with poor development practices and the Jackson TownCouncil approving far too much intense development in a place thatshould never have had this kind of development. Former JacksonTown Council members like Melissa Turley, the Mayor and othersmade poor approval decisions mostly based on economics and emo-tionalism rather than solid, geological proof that the land was stablethere. The older generation engineers and geologists have told thetown since the 1970s that the Budge Drive hill was not a stable placeto build but these know it alls built there anyway.

■ Any thoughts on who will be sued for this? Walgreens or thetown of Jackson?

■ Every landowner has the right to support of their land in its natu-ral state. If it can be shown Walgreens cut into the hillside and negli-gently caused the slide, Walgreens is liable. If, however, the hill wouldhave slid in its natural state, than nobody is liable. The town of Jacksonwill probably not be liable. Government typically enacts laws to pro-tect themselves from common negligence, regardless of the situation.As such, even if they approved the building permit, they probably areimmune from civil prosecution. I would probe a suit against Walgreensand see if they investigated the stability of the hillside before doinganything.

■ Whomever first approved of the houses to be built in the middleof the mountain of dirt & the businesses/houses to be built at the bot-tom of it ought to be tarred, feathered, & hung out to dry, for every-one to enjoy & placed photos of them in the national news.Whomever allowed that to happen in the very first place should havetheir collective butts kicked.

On “Healing Healthcare”■ Wow! Who do you think is going to pay for all this? Wake up peo-

ple! This country is more divided now than ever before! Obama ranon the platform to “bring us together as one nation”. Governmentcontrols you more now than ever.

■ Who will pay for it? The American people, as we have for 225years to make investments in the future. Like spending for national de-fense, research for technology and medicine, transportation, space ex-ploration, etc.

■ The Congressional Budget Office projects that the law will re-duce the growth in health care spending by tens of billions each year,reduce health care costs for many Americans, and help to insure mil-lions of Americans who previously could not obtain coverage. TheACA is projected to cut the national deficit by over $200 billion duringits first 10 years and over $1 trillion over the next two decades.

Forget television. In Jackson Hole – whetherit’s flames licking the top of Horsethief Canyon,raging spring runoffs, blinding blizzards orneighboring wild animals rearing rambunctiousfox or cougar cubs – Mother Nature producesthe best entertainment.

Conveniently located across from accessibleparking and sidewalk benches, the Budge DriveLandslide is Jackson’s latest natural spectacle.The slow-moving land mass has drawn interestfrom passersby, geology buffs and concernedcitizens.

“I usually check in once a day,” said AaronFeuerstein, a chef at Trio American Bistro. “Tosee the changes day to day is amazing. I thinkfor me, the draw is the sheer force of nature. AndI really feel for the people whose lives have beenaffected and the town officials who have had todeal with it.”

Since cracks started forming on the hillsideabove the newly constructed Walgreens, the storyof a deteriorating landmass and subsequent resi-dential evacuation has piqued the interest of na-tional and local audiences alike. A header reading“landslide slowly devours Wyoming town” is one ofseveral sensationalized headlines that ran in na-tional media outlets reporting the story from afar.

Jason Wright, network engineer for the Town ofJackson, said a webcam set to the hillside has at-tracted over 60,000 people over the past week.

“Since Friday our website has had more hitsthan it has in the past year, and they are from al-most every country in the world, except for somecountries in Africa,” he said.

Viewership peaked on Thursday when thelandslide sped up from its previous pace of aninch a day to three feet of movement in 24hours.

“You could actually see the rocks fallings offthe face. It was moving so fast,” said Jim Quar-berg, who took an interest in the slide becauseof his experience in civil engineering. “I thinkthere was about a thousand people out here onThursday. There were tons of people.”

Town efforts to buttress the landmass withheavy concrete slabs were stopped Thursday be-cause of safety concerns, but crews have sincereturned to their work of reinforcing the toe atthe base of the moving earth.

“The movement we saw Thursday was prettyincredible,” said Fire Chief Willy Watsabaugh.“It’s kind of humbling to see what our ability isto hold those things back.”

Temps pushing 60-degrees in town last weekend prompted more than a few to roll out their bikes, rollerblades, scooters, and what-have-youfor the first time in about seven months. It’s the perfect weather to take advantage of the inner park road, alongside two to five foot snow-banks, but no cars, trucks, or mini-winnies. That’s one of those ideal things to do this time of year, when it isn’t snowing. Thanks Grand TetonNational Park for cutting that swath open so quickly this year.

The Cool: Looks like we take a step or two backwards in the temperature department to finish off this week, then moderate back closer tonormal for the last days of April. Morning lows are usually around the freezing mark this time of year, though when skies are clear overnight, wecan dip into the teens, or colder, after we’ve had a little snow. We dipped to 11 degrees one morning last week. Let’s just not go as low as the 4degrees we had April 26, 2008.

The Hot: Spring fever comes to a head when we get that first 70-degree day of the year in town. Youmight even call it a “spring frenzy.” Nowhere in the records have we ever made it to 80 degrees in themonth of April. Highest is 79 degrees, set back on April 29, 1992. We will probably have to wait untilsometime in May for the big seven-oh to show up this year.

Average monthly April precipitation = 1.14 inches • Record precipitation in April = 2.66 inches in 1963Average April Snowfall = 4 inch • Record April Snowfall = 24 inches (1967)

Props&Disses

Lighter side of landslideProps have to be given to this diss. A newly printed

T-shirt reads “Stone Drug Wins by a Landslide.”Whether you believe the new Walgreens was set to de-

stroy the local pharmacy business or not, unless you’re acomplete stoic you have to laugh at this punny T-shirt design.Katie Shackleford, a fervent supporter of Stone Drug, is orderingseveral to sell to family and friends for $10 each. “Stone Drug isloved by this town, so it made sense to let people in town wearthat love … and sarcasm,” she said.

And while we are on the subject of landslide word play, propsmust be given to Sidewinders Tavern for keeping a sense ofhumor through all the rock fall. Had a sudden acceleration of thehillside’s movement not kept them from reopening on Friday,the pub was planning on running a special on Rolling Rock beerand “slider” sandwiches. Now that their opening has been de-layed indefinitely, who knows whether they will still be up fordishing the puns.

Outrageous rentalsThe forces of supply and demand are boosting

Jackson rental prices. It’s a landlord’s market outthere. With very few places for rent and what seemslike an entire town (plus a new batch of 90-day won-ders) playing musical apartments, Jackson landlords are happilyraising rents to near-Manhattan levels. Longtime residents areforced to consider renting RV spots at Kudar Motel for $600 permonth. At least summer temps allow for outdoor living, other-wise the Good Samaritan Mission might be overflowing.

The quirkier, the betterQuilters rejoice! The Quilt Festival, scheduled for

October 7-11, received an extra jolt of funding thanksto the latest round of special event sponsorship from

the Travel and Tourism board. Thirty-two events re-ceived funding to bring more tourists to town through the shoul-der seasons, including some rather fringy festivals like theArchaic Arts Festival. Call me a hipster, but I am always in favor ofquirkier subculture in Jackson.

hen we first meet Helen, one of twoprotagonists in Dinaw Mengestu’s bril-

liant new novel, All Our Names, Helendescribes herself first by invoking her

mother.“My mother was a whisperer. She spoke in soft

tones, in case my father was upset or had entered oneof his dark moods, a habit which she continued afterhe had left. We lived in a quiet, semi-rural Midwesterntown, and decorum for her was everything.”

Character, and by extension identity, is a central in-vestigation in Mengestu’s fiction. How much of whowe are is informed by our surroundings? When weleave our hometown – or our homeland – do we ceasein some way to be ourselves?

An award-winning author and current EminentWriter in Residence at the University of Wyoming,Dinaw Mengestu will speak Saturday as part of TetonCounty Library’s “Writers at the Library” program. Hewill read from All Our Names and lead a discussion ofthe book’s themes.

Mengestu’s reading will be preceded during the dayon Saturday by a writing workshop on creating a por-trait. Led by Beth Loffreda, director of the UW MFAProgram in Creative Writing, the workshop will teachparticipants how to capture the essence of a person injust a few sentences, working with personal photo-graphs or from memory.

The focus on compelling portraits in literature offersJackson residents an opportunity to delve into the im-portance of literary fiction in our lives. A recent studyconducted by researchers at New School for Social re-search showed that reading literary fiction enhancesthe ability to detect and understand other people’semotions, a crucial skill in navigating complex socialrelationships. In other words, reading good books in-creases empathy.

This is why Mengestu’s work is so important. AnEthiopian-American who moved to Peoria, Ill. as a boywhen his family fled the Red Terror in Ethiopia,Mengestu has spent a lifetime negotiating a complexsense of identity. Dislocation and the immigrant expe-rience are major themes in his fiction. When I spokewith him by phone, Mengestu reflected on the upsideof dislocation.

“My characters try to understand the world, andthey spend time looking at it,” he said. “Dislocationcauses you to try to figure out what you are seeing.”

African immigrant to the small Midwestern town ofLaurel, and Helen, the social worker assigned to hiscase. Though she’s on her home turf, Helen also car-ries a sense of dislocation. Reflecting on her mother’squiet way of speaking, Helen observes that she is veryunlike her mother:

“I could never have been a whisperer. I liked myvoice too much. I rarely read a book in silence. Iwanted to hear every story out loud, so I often readalone in our backyard, which was large enough that ifI yelled the story at the top of my voice, no one in thehouse closest to us could hear me. … When I wasolder, and the grass was almost knee-high because noone bothered to tend to it anymore, I went back therewith a book in my hand simply to scream.”

In this brief passage, we learn something essentialabout Helen and how she became who she is at thetime the novel takes place. To create this portrait ofHelen, Mengestu did not rely on predictable descrip-tions of hair color, height, favorite color or favoritefood – all of which in the end can make a characterseem more generic than specific. Instead, Mengestulets us know in one paragraph that Helen is a personwho has defined herself in opposition to her mothersince childhood, and thus in opposition to the essen-tial character of her Midwestern roots. We also knowthat two key aspects to her identity are being a readerand unabashedly using a loud voice.

Of course we learn much more about Helen andIsaac as the novel, and their romance, unfolds. Set inthe 1970s, the novel is also about other kinds of love,between friends and for revolutionary causes. Isaachas fled a war in Africa, but has left behind his bestfriend and a chaotic past.

“The love story saves the characters,” Mengestusaid. “Both Isaac and Helen are isolated and lonelywhen they meet. They have set themselves aside fromconventional paths. Their relationship is what willground them.”

Though race is one of the influences that shape hischaracters, Mengestu said the novel is not about race.Instead, he writes about the universal experience ofhaving lost someone or something that was vital toyou. He wants his novels to reach a wide audience.

“I don’t think of my readers in terms of race orgender,” he said. “I write for readers who want com-plex stories.”

Growing up in Illinois and feeling alienated frommany of his peers, Mengestu was first inspired by sto-ries of rebellion and adventure. Jack Kerouac’s On theRoad and J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye capturedMengestu’s imagination as a teenager. He began tothink about being a writer himself. “It seemed heroicto want to be a writer,” he said.

Not surprisingly, Mengestu travels often in his adultlife. He has lived in Washington D.C., Paris and NewYork. He travels to Africa at least once a year. He stillhas family in Ethiopia whom he visits.

“Travel is vital to my sense of myself as a writer,”he said.

As the current Eminent Writer in Residence at theUniversity of Wyoming Master of Fine Arts CreativeWriting Program, Mengestu leads workshops withMFA creative writing students. He will also visit withundergraduate students in the UW Multicultural Re-source Center and the creative writing minor pro-gram.

While his time on the UW campus has been limitedbecause of his current book tour schedule, he has en-joyed the experience so far.

“I’ve loved Wyoming,” he said. “I have an affinity forsmall town America. Laramie has stunning naturalbeauty plus an eclectic downtown.”

Like Wyomingites, place is central to identity forMengestu’s characters. However, rather than being inharmony with nature, characters like Isaac and Helenare out of step with their environment. Though theyare both from small towns originally, it is not theirsmall-town sensibilities that define them, but rathertheir restlessness. Similarly, in The Beautiful ThingsThat Heaven Bears, the main character, SephaStephanos, feels alienated from his Washington D.C.surroundings because it turned out not to be the landof freedom he had imagined.

As with his own family, some of Mengestu’s charac-

ters have been displaced by war. Sepha fledEthiopia’s Red Terror. Isaac fled a war in Uganda. Thepolitics of war and issues of migration and immigra-tion will be part of the discussion when Mengestureads on Saturday.

It’s notable that in the past few months Wyominghas seen a spotlight on issues facing African refugeesand immigrants, due in large part to Mengestu’s pub-lic readings and Gillette resident Bertine Bahige’scampaign to establish a refugee resettlement program(“No Refuge in Wyoming,” March 18, 2014.) In a statewhere African-Americans comprise 1.5 percent of thepopulation, this constitutes a major uptick in conver-sation about race and immigration. In the West, weare more accustomed to targeting our debates aboutimmigration – legal or otherwise – on Mexicans seek-ing work. Mengestu’s work offers a broader perspec-tive on the multitude of reasons people may leavetheir homeland.

Fiction provides the wide canvas Mengestu needs toconvey his themes and ideas. Though he has writtenacclaimed nonfiction articles for Rolling Stone andother publications, it is his work in fiction that earnedhim a MacArthur “Genius” Award, as well as the Lan-nan Fiction Fellowship and the National Book Award“5 under 35” Award. In 2010 he was selected by TheNew Yorker as a “20 under 40” writer.

When asked by The New Yorker what makes a pieceof fiction work, Mengestu replied: “As for most writ-ers, language is vital for me: a writer’s ability to rendera fictional world – characters, landscape, emotions –into something original that alters or deepens my un-derstanding of both literature and life. Then, there’ssomething that I think of as the space that a work offiction provides the reader to feel emotionally and in-tellectually invested in the text.”

Ultimately, Mengestu’s fiction is about human con-nection. Whether describing the way Isaac be-friended his close compatriot in Uganda (“[We]became friends the way two stray dogs find them-selves linked by treading the same path every day insearch of food and companionship”) or Isaac andHelen’s first kiss (“When we opened our eyes andseparated, what we felt wasn’t surprise so much asrelief that our first moment of intimacy felt so ordi-nary – almost habitual, as if it had been part of ourroutine for years to kiss while passing”), Mengestuwrites with a striking poignancy and refreshing lackof sentimentality. Identity, his characters find, can berevealed and reinvented through love. However,ghosts of the past never fully disappear.

Spirits – remain closed past an antici-pated reopening. Between Thursdayand Friday, the access road to BudgeDrive became impassable, an under-ground sewer line broke, and the houseat 1045 Budge Drive, located directlyabove Walgreens, split in two.

“When I left on Thursday the housewas still in one piece,” said Quarberg, “Icame Friday morning and the thing wascracked in half.”

Since Friday, movement has slowedback down to about an inch a day, butincremental bending and bucklingstill draws a continuous trickle of resi-dents hoping to catch some live-ac-tion rock fall.

On Easter Sunday, Roger Strout andhis family were dressed in their Sun-day best.

“We just thought we would watch thelandslide for the rest of Easter,” he said.“It’s such a large piece of ground thatyou can actually see moving.”

Chief Watsabaugh said there was po-tential for the landslide to cross Broad-way, but that crews are working toprevent that by placing weight at the

toe of the slide.“I think we would see some accelera-

tion before that happens. We are meas-uring the risk every day,” Watsabaughsaid. “If I thought the first person wasgoing to be at risk on Broadway, I wouldclose the road.”

For now, Broadway remains openand distracted motorists trying to catcha glimpse of the debris have caused two

fender benders. Authorities are askingdrivers to stay alert while driving or pullover if they want to check on the scene.

The Gun Barrel parking lot has be-come the de facto viewing lot, at timesresembling a drive-in movie theater.

Hoping to witness Mother Nature in ac-tion, Lawrence and Megan Stordahlstopped to rest on a bench in front of theslide while on a bike ride down Broadway.

“We saw some actually fall, just a lit-tle bit of dirt and rubble,” Megan Stor-dahl said.

“We’re trying to have fun with it be-cause what else are you going to do withit,” said Lawrence Stordahl. “We knowsome of those people who live up there,and they are in a hard spot right now.”

Speculation about the cause of theslide is a hot topic among the spectators.

“Something this sizable, doesn’tseem like it could be one person’s re-sponsibility,” Becky Strout said. “Therewas oversight from the town, there wereengineers, there is Mother Nature.There are many factors that we couldblame. We just have to go forward anddeal with it.”

Watsabaugh said crews continue totry to slow things down, so that a long-term plan for Budge Drive can be putinto place.

“Our optimistic view is that we havesome time right now,” he said. “Wewon’t know what the ultimate plan forBudge Drive will be for several weeks.… We don’t know what Mother Naturewants to do now.”

Screen Door Porch is recording itsthird original LP this week, but it’s a firstfor the band’s current lineup featuringSeadar Rose (guitar, vocals), Aaron Davis(guitar, vocals), Tom Davidson (bass) andAndy Peterson (drums, backing vocals).

Davis and Rose, now married, first metin 2006 when Rose sought guitar lessonsfrom Davis. By 2009, the pair had movedto Austin, Tex., and by 2010 they hadrecorded Screen Door’s self-titled debutalbum with producer Britton Beisenherzof Austin’s Ramble Creek studio. Shortlythereafter, the two moved back to Jacksonand in 2012 recorded again with Beisen-herz, releasing The Fate & The Fruit.

Screen Door has enjoyed a steady up-ward trajectory since then, touring ex-tensively on booked summer festivalcircuits. They’ve shared bills with Ameri-cana darlings Justin Townes Earle, JasonIsbell & the 200 Unit, Steve Earle and OtisTaylor, to name a few, recently enjoying afeature in The New York Times for theirparticipation in the “WYOAmericana”tour.

For this album, slated for release inSeptember, Screen Door is recording lo-cally for the first time at musician BenWinship’s Henhouse Studio in Victor,Ida. Winship will co-produce with thesongwriting duo; and they will work onceagain with Beisenherz using the com-pany as their album mixer.

“The sound of Screen Door has reallyevolved since our first record,” Rose said.“Originally, we were a six-piece withcello, bass and drums. After the firstalbum and over the years, we whittledthat down in the process of figuring outthe best sound for what our songsneeded. It just kind of happened.”

This LP’s songs are the product of acollaborative and multifaceted writingprocess and range from pensive to comi-cal, such as the playful “I Wish I was aTeton (Instead of a Butte),” a song Daviswrote in 2008.

“In the beginning, Aaron and I wrotevery separately most of the time. But wewere still collaborating – throughoutevery album there are songs we wrote to-

gether,” Rose said. “I thinkwhat’s really changed aboutour writing process now isthat every song that comes tothe table is definitely more ofa collaborative thing, with theentire band contributing tothe writing process.”

When asked about the mu-sical influences that con-tributed to the material onthis LP, Rose and Davis pointto the recent inheritance ofSeadar’s father’s record col-lection, ripe with early bluesmaterial. The pair also cite asinfluences all-stars such asThe Band, The Allman Broth-ers and The Tedeschi TrucksBand.

“I think we’re on the right

track,” Davis said. “We’re put-ting a lot of work into it, andwe’re getting enough rewardsback to make us feel like we’redoing the right thing. The goalis to always up the ante, playfor more people, and con-tinue to tour to bigger andbetter places.”

Rose feels they have alreadyarrived to some degree. “Tome, we’ve already gone be-yond whatever I thought pos-sible, so I’m excited abouteverything that we do.”

Screen Door Porch’s nextperformance is on May 21 inLaramie as part of theWYOAmericana tour. Formore information, visitscreendoorporch.com.

By Geraldine Mishev

It’s been one of those weeks.As of last Thursday I was stillstruggling with what to reviewfor this week’s column. Thatmorning, biting into a saltbagel with a schmear of honeywalnut cream cheese ($2.50)and sipping a triple, skinnycaramel latte at Pearl StreetBagels (free after the purchaseof 10 coffee drinks in a ceramicor travel mug), I was doubtful Iwould have the time to try anew place.

Friday morning, biting intothe same flavor of bagel withthe same cream cheese, as I dofour out of five mornings, itdawned on me. I’ll review theplace I frequent more than anyother restaurant in this valley:Pearl Street Bagels.

I love Pearl Street Bagelsthroughout the year. I might bethe only person in the valleywho doesn’t care they do notoffer to toast their bagels.

However, I really love PearlStreet in the off-season, when

the line doesn’t stretch out thedoor, and I can have a quickconversation with Cassie,Erica, Polly, Diane, or any ofthe other amazing baristas whoknow my order without mehaving to say a word. (Sorry toany of you whose names I mis-spelled.)

And now, finally after 24years, Pearl Street offers cash-and-carry breakfast bagelsandwiches. Having now hadeach of the different varieties, Ican authoritatively state it wasworth the wait.

The bacon, egg, and cheese($5) is my favorite. Every time Iget it, I’m impressed by exactlyhow much bacon comes on it.Stacked atop an organic friedegg and cheddar cheese andbetween a plain or everythingbagel, it is a good portion of apig. Biting through is no easyfeat. Nor is it something I’d rec-ommend attempting withoutfirst having your morning cof-fee. Good thing Pearl Streetmakes some of the best intown. (Full disclosure: I always

get a double espresso ($2.50) soI can’t speak to their drip cof-fee.)

Other bagel sandwich vari-eties include egg, cheese andsausage ($5), and a meatlessoption ($4). All sandwiches areavailable on plain or every-thing bagels. These are notmade to order. A finite amountare made every morning andkept in a hot box by thecounter. When they’re gone,they’re gone. Until 6:30 a.m.the next morning.

Not a fan of carbs? A coupleof weeks ago, Pearl Streetrestarted their summersmoothies ($4.50). It’s a differ-ent flavor most every day. Andthey only make one flavor aday. As my smoothie-savoringboyfriend sipped one last weekhe commented to a nearbybarista about the one-flavor-a-day policy. He wasn’t com-plaining, but was curious. “We

go with what’s freshest,” hewas told. That day it waspineapple, peach and banana.He had them add yogurt forextra creaminess.

“This isn’t a flavor that I’dorder if I had a menu of manyto choose from, but it’s reallygood,” he said. Perhaps PearlStreet Bagels knows what’s bestfor us?

I’m currently in a monoga-mous, long-term relationshipwith the salt bagel/honey wal-nut cream cheese combo. Mypast relationships have beenwith a sesame bagel schmearedwith Mexican cream cheeseand a spinach feta bagel withfresh herb cream cheese.What’s a schmear? A one-ounce serving instead of theusual two ounces ($3.00).

Open daily 6:30 a.m. to 6p.m. at 145 W. Pearl Avenue inJackson and in Fish Creek Cen-ter in Wilson.

Bagel sandwichesworth the wait at PSB

We had to wait 20+ years for Pearl Street Bagels to do abreakfast sandwich, but this monster, in a sausage, bacon,or meatless variety, was worth the wait.

PR CHOICE

Dear Rocky Love,Fifteen years ago, when my husband and I first moved

to Jackson, life was awesome! We both love the outdoorsand the community. We got good jobs; we had time toplay. Then we had kids. Now we’re both tired all the timefrom work and parenting, and our sex life is on autopi-lot. We know all each other’s moves in the bedroom, andwe don’t feel inspired to come up with new ones. Howdo we spice things up again?

– Worn-Out in East Jackson

Dear Worn-Out,Ooo, have I got some fun suggestions for you! But first

let me say that this is a challenge most long-termmonogamous couples face, and having young kids cancompound the issue. Plus, you live in Jackson, wherethere are too few venues or events where sexiness is en-couraged. (Last fall’s Revelry party at Center for the Artsstood out as an exception – the lust was palpable!) Nowonder worn-out couples here can fall into ruts.

However, I have two sexy ideas for you. These dates re-quire a babysitter and a few hours of couple time. I wantyou to set aside time to break out of your routine and re-connect with your adventurous side.

Sexy date for worn-out couples No. 1: The Sensual. When you’re chronically tired, your body can feel irri-

table, sore and resistant to being touched. So the firstorder of business is to reawaken your skin and musclesto sensuality and pleasure. Luckily, there are an abun-dance of options for this in Jackson. I suggest taking ayoga class together, preferably an easier one. You couldtry Akasha’s Restorative Yoga on Sunday nights at 5:30p.m. Or book simultaneous massages at Bear and DoeSpa. You can each get a little alone time during the mas-sage, then meet up in the Banya Spa, which will meltaway any tension completely. Enjoy getting sweaty to-gether but not touching. Directly after, go home, eat a lit-tle fruit, and take warm showers. Get into bed naked,and transfer that sensuality in your bodies to reconnect-ing with one another.

Sexy date for worn-out couples No. 2: The Illicit. This one works in two stages. Make a date to go shop-

ping at Ella’s Room. Splurge on lingerie that you bothlike, the more risqué the better. The next step is to makea lunchtime sex date when the kids are at school or daycare. Make this on a different day than the shoppingdate, so you have time to rev up your fantasies aboutwhat is to come. I want you, dear Worn-Out, to arrive athome a few minutes earlier than your husband so youcan don that lingerie. When he gets there, get down tobusiness. He needs to join you ASAP in a state of un-dress. This is a great date to try a new position or roomto play in. Enjoy the feeling of “breaking the rules” andbeing naughty.

In general, remember to communicate! Desire is fluidover a lifetime. Don’t assume you know everything theother person wants. Also, don’t be lazy about hygiene ondays or nights you want to have sex. Spruce up for oneanother, just as you would if you were going to be with anew lover.

Good luck and have fun!– XO, Rocky Love

JH WEEKLY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM MADE BY A CLASSIFIED AD IN THIS PAPER.By Clyde Thornhill

Alice, my Republican lover, stopped by mytrailer last night.

“I’ve been appointed assistant to the Public Ed-ucation Information Coordinator by the Gover-nor,” she said. “We assure that the teaching ofscience in public schools does not conflict withpopular culture, our state’s economic interests orBiblical truth as interpreted by likely GOP primaryvoters. Our goal is having a politically based edu-cation system like they do in Saudi Arabia!”

Great, I thought. After I resign from high schoolthey eliminate all the hard classes.

“The first thing we’ll do is pass a law makingevolution illegal in Wyoming,” Alice said.

“It already is illegal in Hoback Junction,” Ireplied, cringing at the idea that the urbane citi-zens of Hog Island share common ancestry withthe Neanderthals on the other side of the bridge.

“Biology education will be based on The Gar-den of Eden, Kings James Edition,” Alice ex-plained. “Why are you frowning Clyde?”

“The Garden of Eden story has an unhappyending,” I complained. “Everyone ends up put-ting on clothes.”

“Geology is a trickier political problem,” Aliceadmitted. “Since Wyoming’s tax base is depend-ent on oil, gas and coal, modern geology needs tobe tolerated so geologists can find oil, gas andcoal. The committee embraces a geology that isboth pragmatic and voter based. When dating ge-ological formations in billions of years we simplyimplement the Republican standard deviationcurve and delete the last six zeros, just like we doto the deficit when there is a Republican presi-

dent. It will bring carbon dating in compliancewith the fact that Earth is 6,000 years old, whilestill allowing exploration by energy companies.”

“What about gravity?” I ask getting excited.“Could we pass a law to prohibit gravity atWyoming vs. BYU football games when Wyominghas the ball?”

“Local representative Marti Halverson chairsthe subcommittee considering doing just that.”

“Can you outlaw grammar?” I asked, getting an-imated. “Just tell everyone it’s a plot by Obama.Even Democrats would vote for that!”

“We’re considering all options,” Alice said.“Mead is term limited for Governor. To win theRepublican Senate primary in 2020 he will need tobe politically to the right of Liz, his likely oppo-nent. Wyoming’s common-sense conservativeslike Marti can take advantage of the situation andpush the GOP beyond its public persona of fiscalconservatism and redefine everything from theorigin of species to the creation of the universe.”

“If things get too crazy, wouldn’t that open thedoor for a Democrat contender?” I asked.

Alice stares at me for a moment before we bothbreak out laughing.

“Speaking of education, let me show you amove I learned at the Louisiana GOP FamiliesValue Conference sponsored by RepublicansVance McAllister and David Vitter. It involves aduck, half twist and lots of spin!”

Alice pops the whip on her leg and leads me tothe bedroom. “Time to get cracking,” she said.

“I might go back to school and work on obtain-ing my high school diploma,” I said.

“That’s what we want,” she said. “A properWyoming education for all.”
