I got an email from my Dad this afternoon:
New invasive species and guess what it’s called…
Makes me proud to live in a state where we name a town Boring and a high-desert road “Stinking Water Pass” … entertain ourselves dynamiting dead whales and dropping napalm on stranded cargo vessels … hold both a “Lumberjack Festival” and a “Faerie Festival” within 40 miles of each other … all the while worrying about rock snot in our fishing streams.
You can’t make this stuff up … what a truly great place this is … B-)
I'm a 30-year-old 
That’s a good way to describe Oregon. When I think of the West Coast I think of Washington as the place of big corporations (Starbucks, Microsoft, Boeing, etc.), Applets & Cotlets, water and sailing and busy ports. California makes me think of wine country, themeparks, big cities, and sun.
Where does Oregon fit in to all this? It is truly an interesting place …

Oregon has a bit of both, plus a lot of strangeness. Makes me glad I live within the moderating influence of the city. :)
