Owens? Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.

If you ever get the feeling that you’re on your own, then spare a thought for Don Sammons.
The hamlet（小镇） of Buford in Wyoming is not even a sparsely-populated area. It’s a single-populated（人口稀薄的）area, as the 60-year-old is the only man, woman or child living there.
But even though the ‘population one’ hamlet is 8,000ft up a cold mountain, he denies feeling lonely and runs an isolated petrol station and convenience shop.
Mr. Sammons left Los Angeles with his wife and bought the tiny town with six buildings to escape their busy lifestyle.
When the couple moved，there were seven people living in Buford working for a railroad that passes nearby, but they all moved away to bigger towns by the mid-1990s.
Then his wife died 15 years ago and his son, now aged 26, moved to Colorado three years ago. So that left Mr. Sammons in Buford on his own.
He gets about 1,000 visitors a day to the village during the summer, which has a billboard proclaiming（宣布） his small empire（帝国）, but this drops to around 100 during the winter，in which the winds often blow at 70mph.
Mr Sammons turned a school house, which operated between 1905 and 1962, into his office and made another old store built in 1895 into a four-car garage.
He lives in a three-bedroom log cabin and enjoys a commute（通勤来往） of 200 yards to his workplace. ‘I'm the king of the castle here,’ he said.
Buford was formed in 1866 as military outpost (军事警哨)‘Fort Sanders’, to protect workers building a railroad. It was once home to 2,000 people - most of them foreign migrant（移民） rail workers – a post office was built in 1880. The town was named Buford after Civil War general John Buford following the opening.
The town was sold to a private buyer by the railroad company in 1970 and Mr. Sammons arrived with his wife ten years later after working in the moving business in California.
