however, do you KNOW how funny it is for someone from minneapolis to see the headline news engenderee by your 'bone-chilling' cold wave of (gasp) 30 degrees fahrenheit? | |

http://www.oregon.com/att...allery.cfm it was actually deeply funny watching the hullabaloo made over this 'arctic blast'. i kid you not, the evening news was devoted to the 'crushing cold'

i'm seriously thinking about moving there. they have buses, light rail transit, historical old buildings (of the type minneapolis bulldozed years ago), it's a socially progressive atmosphere, it's an hour from the pacific coast and an hour from the desert (best of all worlds) and it's just plain nifty in many respects | |
