Personal Opinion of Someone from the Small Town of Basin, Wyoming
Small-town is a term that means something different to everyone.
Small town to me means:
Knowing everyone in your school's first, middle, and last name
Dating a friend's ex is normal
The Cows have the right of way
The teachers know/taught your parents
Waving at people you drive by is a requirement
Everyone tells your mom EVERYTHING
You never get away with being late
Making varsity sports easy peasy lemon squeezy
Town cops pull you over to ask about your family
The High Shcool basketball game is a mandatory community event
There are about 10 registered sex offenders living in town
Barbara Anne will tell you EVERYONE else's drama
