Oregon is sort of like dropping extra large version of Berkeley and a few college towns into West Virginia and then see how it works out.

I think that's the best description of Oregon I've ever read.

Edit: if West Virginia was also filled with jaw-dropping natural beauty.

Spring and summer are really the best part of the PNW. However, we need to be vigilant in keeping up the misconception that it only rains and is miserable up here--we don't want more people realizing how incredible it can be.

Fall is awesome too. And I love the rain in winter, so I guess I live where I belong. January and February do tend to drag after a bit, but hunkering down with a book and a dark beer or whiskey while it drizzles outside is the best. I won't lie though, I soaked up a lot of sun this weekend. I took the kids around the river bike path in Eugene for a few hours and they loved it, then we started our garden, then we just lay on the deck for a while and catnapped. It was glorious.

Are the people in Oregon honestly that big of babies?

Not in Eugene, most cars here have CA plates.

Anyone else vote for any third party candidates? I voted Pacific Green for US senator and representative, and the governor, but voted Democratic for the state legislature.

Hell yeah, it's the next best thing to getting to vote for Bernie Sanders.

Hey, so I asked a similar question a while ago, but to bring it up again, anyone have any favorite seasonal ciders from the PNW? The suggestions I got for fall were good, but now it is winter.

Wildcraft is the hot new poo poo. The only cider I'll drink anymore.

It seems like everyone's already forgotten the housing bubble burst from 6 years ago, prices are skyrocketing again.

Just in time for the next crash in a year or two :v:

What's the best site to check road conditions? Thinking about heading up to Portland from Eugene today.
