- well, i take one sick day out of work
- and come back to find a major f*cking coup
- on my hands. you southerners just can't
- be trusted can you? no wonder we wupped
- ya in the civil war. sheesh.
-
- i am voting for portland, obviously,
- since i'll be living out there.
- plus, the idea of "tar-and-featherbake"
- appeals not to me. i always end up being
- the target at theme parties like that.
-
- and for those of you who think there
- is nothing to do in Portland, those
- of you who think it will be boring and
- rainy, well, then, you don't deserve
- to appreciate the beauty that is
- the pacific northwest. The summer
- is absolutely gorgeous, lush and green
- and warm, but not hot. The Columbia River
- Gourge, and the Hood River,all close, The pacific ocean
- is about an hour+ away, the mountains are
- less than 45 minutes away. Portland has one of
- the largest International Rose Testing Gardens,
- most of which should be in full bloom in July.
- There is music downtown in Pioneer square every
- day, as well as free concerts all over the place.
- There's a zoo, and a japanese garden on one of the
- highest points in Portland.
-
- The microbrew rules. (need more be said?)
-
- Portland has also initiated the 2% for art (or is it 3%?)
- All the buildings have to put 2% of their operating budget
- towards artistic endeavors (on or in their buildings)
-
- There's is more than enough to do in Portland.
-
- I just received some mail from Carol, asking me how i'm
- doing with my bed and breakfast thing: its still getting compiled,
- but i'm gonna quit until you all make a decision.
