More stereotypes

Recently, I talked about stereotypes I had about various states I had never visited. Now, I will discuss stereotypes of states I have visited.

Wyoming Blows. Very true. Every time I've been there, the wind is howling. It both sucks and blows at the same time. It may not seem possible, but it happens. I've been there in the summer and the winter. The wintertime is much, much worse. Of all the times I've thought I should chain up, they've all been in Wyoming. Sorry to my friends who live in this state, but Wyoming is like Kansas. I just don't get why anyone lives there. Wyoming has no redeeming qualities. If anyone can prove me wrong, please do so.

It's always raining in Seattle. Maybe. Personally, I've been up there several times, and it's always been sunny and nice. I think the locals try to say that to keep the tourists away, so they can have the city to themselves. I don't blame them.

Sunny Southern California. Having been there much of my life, I can't say I had preconceived notions about the area. Most of the time, this has been true. I'll be honest. I love the area. I was there less than a week ago, and it was beautiful. Very warm, orange groves, nothing to complain about. I'll take SoCal over NewJersey anyday.

Utah Drivers Suck. They do. They can't merge. They can't pass. They have no clue how to signal. They're generally idiots. That being said, it's always nice to make it to my home state.

I guess my point is this: there are idiots in every state. Some more than others. But if I could pass some wisdom on to you, it would be this: give truckers room. We weigh much more than you do, and will take much longer than you will to stop. We want you to be safe, but we also want to be safe. We have many more challenges on the road than you do. Please, give us room.
