January 2, 2022
I don't ever look forward to writing this particular blog post. Last year it bummed me out so much I didn't come back to MeThinks all year.
Okay, it was a busy year. But, still.
The list this year is so much longer. I don't know how to process the losses.
The following were mostly from my hometown, Green River, Wyoming. A few were from the neighboring town of Rock Springs, and were known to me.
I will get to public figures the world lost a little later.
2021 took quite a bite out of the population around here.
Starting with New Year's Eve, 2020, because he was a close friend--practically family, and it was almost 2021 when he stepped over the threshhold:
