Generalizations, part 1.

(7)


Washington: all the Canadians speed. Reason, best answer is that they are used to going “20” over, they feel more comfortable with the idea. If we go to Canada, we don’t want to go more then 5 over, even though in Kilometers, that isn’t that much. Another possibility: Canadians are crazy. (This may not be about Washingtonians per se, but, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Washingtonians and no generalizations can be made. We are all unique individuals. That is not true about other states though.)

Oregon: The gas stations are ridiculous, they’re not self pay, meaning you can’t just get gas and go, especially since when you get there you can’t see anybody nearby to fill you up.

Idaho: …they like to widen their roads near cities…

Utah: Very Mormon. The billboards are all for homes, kids and marriage. For instance “two toddlers, twins on the way? Buy our washing machine.”

I love how careful you are about your generalizations. I take it the part about Washingtonians was sarcastic?

So weird about the Utah-ians.

I only speak in all seriousness. I would never lie about Washingtonians. Seeing as, I, a Washingtonian, am perfect.

UTAHNS (just so you know the proper way to call them) are weird. That is why their billboards are weird.

"Although we love them" interjected Laura, right after Amy pressed publish.

The Oregon gas helpers (their official title) are there so that they can have more jobs in the state... way to be selfish. Idaho is Mormon, too, by the way... at least it is near the Washington border, interestingly enough. Teehee... does that mean I can’t buy a washing machine if I don’t have twins?

it's good to get an unbiased and impartial view of the various states within the U.S.

I don't think you can expect the Utahns to be anything but weird with that as their title
