WY registered agent
Wyoming, $2 a year, from the brush
One state, one page. The rule about where a lawsuit goes when nobody is home comes first, because at two dollars nobody is home. Then the statute and the rest, in the state's own words, with ours kept short and dry.

Low. And still.

What the state does when the agent is out
The remedies, as the code states them. We have added nothing. Adding things is not what brush does.

Wyoming, at brush height
Most of the state is sagebrush, and the sagebrush has seen all of it. These are the places it grows around, photographed from higher up than we usually get.
Sweetwater Canyon
Cottonwoods and a creek at the bottom of a rocky cut, the one strip of the county where something other than brush grows. We are not in it.

the Seedskadee refuge
A pronghorn up to its chest in snow beside a sagebrush, which is the closest anything in the state has come to visiting our office.

the Lamar Valley
A river across a green floor between low hills, from the air. From brush height it is a river you cannot see over.

South Pass
Two ruts through the sage where the wagons went. They were in a hurry. Nothing since has been.

Jackson Lake
Gray water under gray peaks at the end of the day. The brush stops at the shore. So does our coverage, technically.
