A microburst like the one pictured above is a column of rapidly sinking air — and sometimes precipitation — in a thunderstorm.
Drivers traveling south along the Lincoln Highway towards Laramie earlier this week were quickly approaching this fall, as well as another one.
Saturday is, in fact, the first day of autumn. The sun has already started to shine with a harder, yellow tint, matching the rapidly yellowing leaves that signal hunters to take up their bows and guns and head into the woods. That is, those who have tags and want to use them after last winter’s brutality.
Teachers and students have returned to the classroom, often lamenting what adventures did not occur over the last few months, but looking forward to who they can become with a new year.
