Wyoming becomes the sixth US state to reach no kill status, with every animal shelter saving at least 90% of the dogs and cats in its care for 12 consecutive months. The state's overall save rate reached 92%, marking a major milestone for animal welfare.

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

50 States Postcard race

Hi!

My nieces class is participating the 50 states postcard race. Each postcard needs:

-interesting face about the state
- where they live (city)
- the states capital

We are in NJ and looking for postcards from all over the USA! Please let us know if you’d like to help out! I can direct message you the school address.

I’m really excited for the kids to learn more about each state and hope ya’ll can help!

Thank you!

Please help! This is a really fun project for the middle school kids.

For those who have commented that I am “doing” the project for her…I’d like to provide some context. We cannot have 10 year olds online soliciting cards from strangers without adult supervision. This is why the post cards are mailed directly to the school and reviewed by the main office first. Once the post cards are approved, they are shared with the class. Each card leads to a productive discussion and essentially..a research project! Each student will need to pick one state to write an essay on.

Give it to me straight: am I crazy to want to drive this route alone

Single woman driving along with two toddlers in the summer, assuming fair weather.

Would you drive it if you were me or are there nature and human dangers that would deter you?

Homesick

Disclaimer: I wasn't a native Wyomingite.

I grew up in Texas and bounced around the world for the military for a few decades. F.E. Warren was my last duty station and I liked Wyoming so much that I decided to stay after I retired. All in all, I spent 10 years living in Cheyenne and getting to experience most of what the rest of the state had to offer.

I left a few months ago for a job in the northeast, and I find myself heartbroken some nights. I know people have their complaints about Wyoming. "It's too red" or "It's too windy." I get it.

But what you guys have is a beautiful piece of the country that goes largely unnoticed. You have nature that isn't confined to a city park. You have vast stretches of rugged land that are solitude and peace for the right kind of person.

Thank you for sharing your state with me. Maybe it wasn't where I was originally "from", but it felt like home and I feel like I left a piece of my heart there when I left.
