It seems everyone here wants to live on a cul-de-sac backed up to a national forest. Oh yeah - and with gates.
Frankly, it's a good thing you're not moving here from California. You'd be tarred and feathered. Our official state motto is: "Don't Californicate Oregon". 
Juulie's also right about Perry Mason. A local channel has been running it M-F at noon for about 40 years. Whenever anyone asks them when they'll stop, they say "when people stop watching". Actually, it's pretty comforting to have something like that you can rely on every day. And...the acting wasn't half bad. |
I've been trying for a number of years to get the HS band director to feature the Perry Mason theme in one of their concerts. But, unlike Perry, I have not won that case.
