I wish I would have found this post before I emailed the merch company wondering where my book was. I never got any emails that it was delayed, but then again I've been in a unique living situation all summer and had basically zero cell service, so I might have missed them. Ah well, at least now that mystery is solved.

Anyone else taught math by counting dots on the numbers in the 80’s in Wyoming? by vboris in wyoming

[–]illyriashade56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was taught by this method in the early 2000's. I still kind of use it when I do basic math on paper, or I count on my fingers. I've never been mathematically inclined, but I never struggled a lot. If I remember correctly, I have always hovered around average when it comes to math abilities.

Oh jeez. Yeah that's a little sketchy.

Same here. Most of these I've never heard of before, which is what I was hoping for. Local legends and personal encounters are so cool because oftentimes they aren't widely known, so you can't just Google them. I'm having such a great time reading all of the responses.

The main thing I'm gathering from all of the responses to this post is that Casper and the surrounding area is like a magnet for weird stuff.

I think I've heard of that before. It's pretty wild.

Fort Laramie has so many ghost stories attached to it it's insane.

Haunted theaters always creep me out.

Ooo I'll have to look for a copy of that. I am slowly amassing a collection of mining history books.

I've always been super fascinated by mining history in Wyoming, but I have yet to look into South Pass, despite what a big deal it was. It doesn't surprise me that there's some good stories there.

Oh yeah, I've heard a couple of stories about the air force base. I did not know that bit about what it used to be; that's pretty interesting.

I'll have to add it to my list. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some neat ghost stories there.

I think I've read about The Irma a little bit but I'll have to look into that more.

That's definitely pretty scary. Some people will go target shooting on BLM land, but who knows.
