If you are feeling to be an exhibitionist, do attend and participate.

The person who needs directions like that in order to open a cardboard box is the same person who needs to be cautioned in writing to be careful, "This coffee is hot." And they certainly can't be expected to tackle both challenges at the same time.

I hope the cardboard box opener doesn't get a paper-cut. Can you imagine whose fault that would be, as well as the litigation to follow?

#5 is a lie because congress has us bent over all the time giving us the hokey POKEY.

They voted for them - they are stuck with their decisions. But why move to get out of CA to move to Oregon or Washington based on politics; just plain stupid.

Who said they were moving because of politics? Like almost everything/everywhere else, it's about the money.

They have money in Oregon or Washington?

I think the migrators were trying to keep more of "their money". I don't know how successful they were. I do know the "locals" have not been pleased. I'm sure the indigenous population felt the same way about the settlers in the mid 1800's but that's another story.

Portland has its "Silicon Forest" as well as some heavy industry (steel, vehicle assembly) and Washington State (specifically Seattle metro area) has Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks (later two or three could be considered a curse by some folks). There is a fair amount of political tension between the developed areas of both states (aka major metropolitan areas) and their less developed open areas (agricultural, forestry). Washington state also has the dubious honor of being home to one of the great nuclear waste sites in the US (Hanford reservation).

Political climate is still less contentious than other parts of the country. I'm not sure why. I would like to think that all parties realize they have been blessed and been cursed by the things that have shaped their environment/economy and that the middle ground is usually safer than either extreme. The major exceptions being you are trying to stand in the middle of a; active train track, runway, or major street.

There may be hope for both Oregon & Washington

Very nice, Wayne.
Wouldn't work for me.
My wife would probably say "What are you going to do with her?"
I guess I could use her as a pillow but that is about all.

Only if we can cure our immigrants of their constant need to "Californicate", I sometimes wonder why they're here if they don't appreciate the way the natives have been doing things for years.
