I just moved to Oregon

I just move in to my house in Oregon. Thought I'll let everyone know. Mark, when does this "rain" season start?

Where in Oregon? If you're in Central or Eastern Oregon, the rainy season is over. If you're in Western Oregon, wait about 15 minutes.

Talking

1) you know when it's summer in Oregon - the rain gets warmer
2) last year 437 people in Oregon fell off their bicycles - and drowned
3) Oregon has two seasons - the rainy season and August 14th

How many more do you want? I know - none.

Welcome to Oregon. I left you a PM with my email and phone numbers. Give me a call or drop me an email and I'll get you in touch the people you need to contact to get started...summer league is just a few weeks (~6) away.


You can also get my email at http://www.reftown.com/contacts.asp

BTW, bud - let us know how it feels to be living in a state that has no sales tax. Personally, I love it. If an item in a store is marked $9.95 and you give the clerk a $10 bill, you get a nickel back. That makes the rain almost worth it.

True...but then there is that lovely State Income Tax that you have over there - that's gotta be fun!

True, Rocky. But if you live in your state and work in mine, like thousands and thousands of your residents do, you pay it anyway. BTW - do you shop at Jantzen Beach to save the sales tax like almost everyone else in Vancouver?
