No, Jairus, I'm convinced, yeah, California and all of it's "improvements" strikes again. I'm so sorry to hear that. The vague chance that I'd ever want to visit Oregon is finished. I thought Florida blew. I stand corrected.
The states they call "flyover states" are where I want to move to if I lose my battle here. But, I'll keep fighting. Because I was born here. My Mom, her Mother and many generations back were all born here. But don't get me wrong. It's still a beautiful place to visit! We still have Mt. Hood and Timberline Lodge, Crater Lake, Columbia River, Snake River, the High Desert, mountains, lakes and the beautiful Oregon Coast. Great place to visit, just not easy to live here anymore.
Kinda makes me glad dear old mom and dad only stayed in Portland about a year during the war. Of all the things negative about Floriduu, we still love it.
