#1 The state of Wyoming is known for its openness. It is a land of wind and rattlesnakes, but it also has a lot of nothingness, which can be difficult to navigate. But it doesn’t affect me at all.

#2 Wyoming is a state full of contrasts. It has the look of a harsh and deserted place, but its inhabitants are very welcoming and co-operative.

#3 The western states of Wyoming and Montana are home to a tradition of good-naturedness that is concomitant with severity. The isolation in which people live makes them quiet, and they telegraph thoughts and feelings by the way they tilt their heads and listen.

#4 The laconic style is a result of shyness. There is no vocabulary for the subject of feelings, so people hold back their thoughts in what seems to be a dumbfounded silence, then erupt with an excoriating perceptive remark.
