My family has always loved Wyoming names, particularly three neighboring towns we\u2019d sometimes see driving between Colorado and Minnesota: Lusk, Lingle and Torrington. Such fine words! They\u2019ve long been part of our family lexicon, and I\u2019ve dedicated my first three improvs to them to help spread their phonetic goodness to a wider audience.
