Some of you will think that this is quite funny...!
So today I was at a practicum/staff meeting and our supervisor who used to live in Roosevelt started talking about how slow/fast people talk. And she went on to tell us about how they used to live in Los Vegas and then they moved to Roosevelt. So she called a housing realtor and this guy just kept talking extremely slow, and so she says that it's a country thing. Since city people talk really fast and country people talk really slow. But I wasn't to surprised by this little bit of news, since I've heard this sort of thing before. Have any of you uintah basin people heard this before also?

Yes, very true. Eric had a roommate from Southern ID and he said he could go into the kitchen, cook a burrito in the microwave, come back into the room and have not missed any of the conversation! (But I do think us basin-ites do talk extra slow). When Eric and I were up in Spokane for our open house we went to listen to his brother talk in church and I couldn't catch half of what he said. They talk extra fast in Washington!
Actually, it was Eric that I thought of when she was talking about slowing talking in the Uintah Basin. Since he'd commmented about it before...especially Altamont. Also, I don't think that I ever told you but the Family Resource Center director is Claudia Brilliant so I don't think it's the same person that you knew. (she's the one that told that story)
