- Hoping you realize that Bob's posting is either tongue in cheek or
- a desperate attempt to convince one more Californian not to come here.

- This is a great place to live. Trouble is it's growing by leaps and
- bounds, becoming more L.A. like every month.

- Contact Chamber of Commerce Portland, OR and Vancouver, Wa. They'll
- tell you good stuff.

- Seems this fellow died and arrived at Heaven's Pearly Gates. St Peter
- looks him up in the book, reads, shakes head, mutters, reads some
- more. Finally says "We can't possibly let you in here. You'll have
- to go down below." So the fellow goes down below. While waiting at
- the other gate, he sees a group of people come out and head up.
- Pretty soon another group ascends. And another. When the Devil comes
- out to see him, he asks who are the people who are leaving. The Devil
- replies "Oh, those are Oregonians. They're too wet to burn."
