As for the California debate I miss surfing and deep sea fishing a lot and there is like basically no edible food here at all. At a Mexican restaurant your choice of seasoning is mild salsa or nothing. People mix catsup and mayo together to dip their fries into. Forget Thai or anything exotic...just some horrid Chinese buffets.
Just don't miss the high cost of living and the crowds and having the state overtaken from New York transplants along with lots of others.

Yes, every place has it's downsides. It does get crowded in spots, all the tourists and such. Beaverton has been a good spot for restaurants. The only few I'm missing here is In-n-out and Claim Jumpers
I'm still waiting for Fly's joke.....

I'd love to slip between the cars on the freeway on my Yamaha like I did in CA but can't in OR, illegal.

Professional sports and amusemnt parks does not a great state make. ; )
In fact its the small spots that few know about that i like. Calis got lots of those too though.

T I am just teasing ya man, dont take me serious, I grant that Cali has great beaches but after 9 yrs living in the Bay Area and then coming back here I couldnt go back, then again i live on 15 acres 20 miles out of Grants Pass so the weather is a lot different here than up there, I think its about perfect, and its not that long a drive to do most anything I want

Wow, you're out in the woods aren't you. 15 acres would be nice. I'm not complaining, I got .5 acre now instead of my 7ksqft lot in Cali. Thanks to the nutzso Cali real estate I was able to get something nice here in Beaverton. I don't miss my commute I had there and a few other things but I never can understand why people bash it and then plan their vacations there.

Doug, do you have the highest post count on TRT? Are you having a party when you hit the 20K mark?

Alright, here's a small sampling of some pics from Disneyland a few weeks ago.
The whole Fam
Just having a great time on the kids rollercoaster
I played dead in the swings the whole ride. The operator wasn't happy with me. I don't think Disney likes when people die on their rides.
This is one awsome little robot. Walks and talks and does some amazing things.

More pics
Kids with none other than... Man they can find some good lookers to play these parts.
Nothing like a Goth family enjoying Disneyland. I wanted to see how the kid in the stroller was dressed.
