I started this post several months ago. Somehow it got pushed to the side as most things do when summer finally hits and there’s stuff to do around the yard. Well with time aside, here it is folks.
After reading through our Cody Enterprise I couldn’t help but notice the amazing amount of police reports involving fraud, scams and UIP’s complaints (Uninformed Innocent People) .
How times change. When I moved to Cody in the 90′s from the east coast I couldn’t help but be amazed at the lack of crime in this small western town. I was genuinely pleased that I would be raising my child in a simple quiet little town that you only read about in fiction novels. Dog at large was the most common complaint followed by a few bar fights, bears in my yard or horses wondering the roads.
When I read the crime section now I notice how the crimes are related to our growing technology. There are always the ‘oldies’ crimes such as check fraud, simple assault, traffic stops, and stray animals. But now we see: Nude pictures on my iPhone, eBay item not as described, unknown person texting me, and computer crimes such as vehicle for sale scams.
.
I thought this would be something I could write about and maybe offer some information as I have sold on eBay and work with fraud and scams in one way or another nearly everyday.

Warning: These pictures may be considered gross or graphic by some readers. Read and view with caution ultra refined city folk.
A cow elk gives birth right next to the Administration building at Yellowstone National Park headquarters in Mammoth Hot Springs!
You can see how wildlife and people can live together harmoniously. And I figure it is one of the few places in the Yellowstone area where a cow elk can safely have her calf without it being eaten immediately by a grizzly or a wolf!

My friend Sandy just sent me these pictures of a 7 point elk (one side) grazing in the field at Canyon Park, Yellowstone. Her husband just had a cow over this.

Keno and I decided to take a walk around Beck Lake today. Luckily I had my camera with me. Half way around the lake the batteries died, or I could have had more pictures of the Lake. I always carry spares in the car so I did capture a few good shots.
When you don’t want to go out for an all day hike Beck Lake is the perfect spot to get away for an hour or more. Here you can enjoy quiet peaceful surroundings along with some amazing scenic Cody views.
