Buford, The City With 1 Resident

2011-04-09T06:56:00.000-07:00

Often, people living in chaotic cities dream to move to the countryside, looking for a bit of quiet. There's a place in the United States far from traffic, noise and other people. This place is called Buford, Wyoming, which has a population of only one!
Don Sammons, 60, this is the name of the only resident of Buford. The man lives alone on the mountains, 8000 feet of altitude, but it seems he doesn't suffer the loneliness. When necessary, Don goes to the nearest cities. The lonely man moved to Buford from Los Angeles with his wife to escape from the chaos of the City of Angels.
Buford was born in the 19th century, during the building of the Transcontinental Railroad. In that period the residents of Buford were about 2000, they were all workers of the railroad. In the end of the last century, the few remaining workers moved from Buford to bigger cities. When Don's wife died, Buford became similar to a ghost town. When Don's son left Buford, it has became the least populated city in the world, counting only 1 residend.

Buford is an unincorporated community in Albany County, Wyoming, United States. Buford was established during the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in Wyoming. At this time the town boasted a population of 2000 itinerant workers. As the railroad progressed these workers moved west with the railroad.

ST. PETERSBURG - The Russian Ministry of Culture awarded the Russian group of provocative art Voinà with a prize of modern art for a huge penis drawn on a drawbridge located in front of the headquarter of the FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation), St. Petersburg. The news was reported by the press office of the Contemporary Art Center of the Ministry, which organized the contest, with a prize of 400k rubli(14k US$).
Last September Voinà's members drew a 60-meter penis on the Liteiny Bridge, which rises during the night, showing the penis: the effect is easily imaginable! The award ceremony took place in Moscow, the winners were not there. In the past Voinà realized several performances of protest, which cost the detention of some of the artists of the group.

What can we say in front of a work of art of such a great beauty? No words to describe it, actually I can't understand the sense of this work, they ruined a bridge, it might hurt the sensibility of people, maybe it can be considered rude and maybe it's not the best way to protest, but of course it's very original and originality always awards!

Here We Are

Ok...here we are. This is my first experience of blogging, actually I'm a beginner. This blog borns after thinking to the news we read every day in the world. Did you notice the most common words used are fight, army, disaster, dead and so on? So I asked myself, and if we put aside this face of the world and we concentrate on the weird and funny news about it?
This is why this blog was born, to look away from the tragic vision of the world and to concentrate all the funny, useless, weird news and nonsenses from the world. Only to spend some time having fun, without thinking to anything.
