This is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about
‘LIVING IN OREGON’…
*If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don’t work
there, you live in Oregon.
*If you’ve worn shorts,
sandals and a parka at the same time, you live in Oregon.
*If you’ve had a lengthy
telephone conversation with someone who dialed the wrong number, you live in
Oregon.
*If you measure distance in
hours, you live in Oregon.
*If you know several people
who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Oregon.
*If you have switched from
‘heat’ to ‘A/C’ and back again in the same day, you live in Oregon.
*If you install security
lights on your house and garage but leave both doors unlocked, you live in
Oregon.
*If you can drive 75 mph
through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in
Central, Southern or Eastern Oregon.
*If you design your kid’s
Halloween costume to fit over 2 layers of clothes or under a raincoat, you live
in Oregon.
*If driving is better in the
winter because the potholes are filled with snow and ice, you live in Oregon.
*If you know all 4 seasons:
almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, you live in Oregon.
*If you feel guilty throwing
aluminum cans or paper in the trash, you live in Oregon.
*If you know more than 10
ways to order coffee, you live in Oregon.
*If you know more people who
own boats than air conditioners, you live in Oregon.
*If you stand on a deserted
corner in the rain waiting for the “Walk” signal, you live in Oregon.
*If you consider that if it
has no snow or has not recently erupted, it is not a real mountain, you live in
Oregon.
*If you can taste the
difference between Starbucks, Seattle’s Best, and Dutch Bros, you live in
Oregon.
*If you know the difference between Chinook, Coho and Sockeye salmon, you live
in Oregon.

pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Clatskanie, Issaquah, Oregon, Umpqua, Yakima and Willamette,
you live in Oregon.

indoor sport, you live in Oregon.
*If you know that Boring is
a city and not just a feeling, you live in Oregon.
*If you can tell the
difference between Japanese, Chinese and Thai food, you live in Oregon.
*If you never go camping
without waterproof matches and a poncho, you live in Oregon.
*If you have actually used
your mountain bike on a mountain, you live in Oregon.
*If you think people who use
umbrellas are either wimps or tourists, you live in Oregon.
*If you buy new sunglasses
every year, because you cannot find the old ones after such a long time, you
live in Oregon.
*If you actually understand
these jokes and forward them to all your OREGON friends, you live or have lived
in Oregon.

Ha ha--he's so funny. I've only ever driven through Oregon, sadly, but that sounds about right from what I've heard from acquaintances.
Some of these apply equally to Maine, you know! I recognize most of them as true statements -- it's this kind of grinning that gets me through a Maine (Oregon?) winter!
Those weather ones fit Michigan, too, but Oregon definitely has more considerate and ecclectic people than most places. Thanks for the laugh!

The ones related to driving are a bit intimidating, but the people sound lovely! I'd like to visit Oregon one of these days. =)
PS -- Hello again, Kathy! It has been a long time since I last visited, but I thought about you out of the blue today and thought I'd say hi! =)
Very funny and interesting. It seems to be a beautiful and friendly state to live, for me perhaps a tad to cold and rainy.
