WY registered agent
Wyoming, $14 a year, the boss is out
The whole job for Wyoming, as explained once. What the state does about an agent that is out comes first, because that is the part the boss said to remember. Then the yearly charge and the rest, in the state's words. Ours are what we recall.
What the state does when the agent is out with the boss
The remedies, in the code's words. We have added nothing. The boss said not to add anything, or maybe said to. It was explained once.

The Wyoming yearly charge
Every year Wyoming sends a bill to keep the company on the books. This is the bill. Not paying it is a saving, the way we are a saving, and it ends the same way, with the boss asking why.

Places the boss has sent us
A hand goes where the truck goes. The truck has been to these, or near them, on errands that were explained once and then forgotten.
the Mormon Row barns
Two barns with the range behind them, standing because somebody built them right the first time. We were told to do the same. Once.

Fort Laramie
The cavalry barracks, two storeys of porch and no cavalry. We know the feeling. The boss is the cavalry.

the National Elk Refuge
Elk in a line across the snow, all going the same way without a hand to move them. That is the goal. We have not reached it.

the McCullough Peaks wild horses
Horses on the open range that nobody feeds, brands or pays. The boss admires them. We think about them a lot.

Fossil Butte
Banded cliffs full of fish that stopped moving fifty million years ago. Our filing has the same layers and none of the fish.
